Oh yes. I know. <BR/><BR/>I will also make sure my husband reads this. He will probably laugh until he cries too. <BR/><BR/>Glad to hear that the storm has passed.

I will also make sure my husband reads this. He will probably laugh until he cries too.

The three-year-old-storage-capacity issue is an understudied scientific area awaiting exploration, definitely. Gregg gets three pats on the back for his assuring words during the crisis. And ah yes, the calm and chatty words when things have calmed down.... When son #2 spewed in the car last month (due to a coughing fit, not to intestinal illness per se), he was sure to remind me of it for some weeks afterward: "I frew up in my carseat one time!" -- Chris M.
