this picture was taken right before one of my daughters threw up, twice, all over the mcd’s playground while everybody watched us.  one guy and his kids were walking into the playground area when she started throwing up and the dad quickly said to his kids, “let’s go eat somewhere else kids.”  and hurriedly walked out.  i went to go tell the manager while my husband went and got plethora of napkins to clean it up and he managed to get 1/2 of it when one of the employees came with his broom and all the cleaning supplies and insisted he clean the rest of it up.  we said it was okay but he kept insisting so we just stood there and watched him in horror/disgust as he swooped up the rest of the throw up with the napkins-with his bare hands(napkins seeping through with the vomit) and even getting some on his bare hands.  we felt terrible.  my husband and i kept looking at each other like, “what do we do, what do we do?”  i wanted to give him some mad tip but all we had was a couple of dollars which sounded too small and offensive to even offer as a tip for cleaning up our daughter’s vomit.  so we just stood there sheepishly while he cleaned it up while i said at least 10 times, “i’m so sorry, i feel terrible.  thank you so much.”  and then we awkwardly walked out and drove home.  i wish i had gotten his name so i could tell his manager how grateful we are.  so whoever you are, i want to thank you.  thank you for cleaning up my daughter’s vomit.(i can’t believe i’m saying this to even begin with!) it meant a lot to us and you are a wonderful person.

p.s: if you ever see me sneaking in and playing inside the playgrounds at any of the fast food restaurants, don’t judge me.  i’m just supervising and making sure our kids don’t fall into any deathly traps or eat anything poisonous and die.  because that could happen inside these dark tunnels and mountain-high slides, just so you know. 😉
