So, can we laugh about this?

[GrammarGal]

My boyfriend tells really funny stories, and one of my favorites involves him getting sick as a child. Being sick isn't funny, of course, but the circumstances (albeit graphic) are what made it funny and also the way he told the story. He thinks it's funny, too, and I think it's funny and horrifying. Lol. So, it got me thinking. Has anything related to emetophobia or v*ing ever happened to you that is funny? Maybe not at the time, but later? Perhaps, if we can laugh at it, it will be less scary. Any thoughts?

Oh, and I'll save the story, because it is pretty gross. If you want to know, just ask, and I'll post it below.

I... I want to know :P

I don't have any funny stories really, I just remember eating too much cheese as a kid and we'd just gotten new carpets put down, and I was feeling ill, and my Mum came and sat with me, and I started throwing up, and she was holding me towards her so that I wouldn't get any on the carpet shouting, "DO IT ON ME! Do it on me!" It's so obvious that she's a nurse. I imagine it would have been hilarious at the time.

Oh I want to know My mum told me that when she was pregnant with me she v*d out of a taxi window and it landed on the car behind hahaha
I so wish I could be like your mum, KaydeeJade!

That's flippin' hilarious. Our poor mothers! Well, this is what happened to my boyfriend. He was about 7 years old. He had gotten sick at the end of the day (school was just letting out), and he was waiting outside for his mom to pick him up. He was standing there when this little girl in a white dress stood next to him. She looked up at him, and, he just turned and v*ed all over the poor child! As he puts it, “I just fired up the megablaster. On her dress, in her hair, in her mouth.” She just started bawling. Just then, his mom pulled up, but she didn’t see the girl. He jumped in the car and was like, “Go!” He said he remembers looking in the rearview mirror and seeing the girl’s mother looking around for whomever it was that just v*ed on her child. Lol. Horrifying. He probably turned that child into an emet. I wish I could tell that story the way he does. He said, “You know at the end of the football game when the players pour Gatorade over the coach? Yeah. Like that.” I don’t know which is worse, his experience or hers.

I remember when I started to get freaked out. One time, my friend Jessica wasn't feeling well at church. My other friend, Laura, and I followed her into the bathroom to check on her. She was in the stall and Laura said, “Don’t worry Jessica. We’re not leaving you.” Jessica just kind of groaned, and I shrieked, “I can’t do this!” and ran out of the bathroom. I heard Laura say, “Okay…I’m not leaving you.” Lol. Great comic timing. I felt like such a jerk.

Ah, the things we do for our carpets.

I once got sick after drinking too much cider, & eating 5 bars of chocolate with it. I did it all over a friend`s floor, & as you can imagine, they were not pleased. I was 17 at the time, & I laughed while they were cleaning up the mess, but I realise now that I laughed out of acute embarrassment, not because I thought it was funny. Ufortunately, everyone else thought that I was, & told me off for laughing. I still blush when I remember that night.

Hmmm well I remember getting the sv for the first time as a kid in first grade and I was SO PROUD of myself for it that I'd go around bragging to other kids trying to outdo them with how many times I vomited. I always lost and I honestly wished it had happened more so I could seem cooler. This was before my emet.

I drank bad milk when i was 5. I guess I was perfectly fine, talking to my mom when I turned pale and started to puke. She didn't want it on her carpet so she caught it in her hands, lol
Then last time I was sick my dad said I erupted like a volcano. The experience was awful, but laughing about it made me feel so much better. I was so proud I v* and in the toilet for once! haha My parents know making me laugh will help me stay calm.

When my sister was very young, she got sick while waiting in the doctor's office. Dad said a little old man came by to clean up and told her, "It feels better on the outside than on the inside, doesn't it honey?" What a sweetie!

[KaydeeJayde]

crd08, sounds like my mum, encouraging me to vomit on her instead of the new carpet :P

When my ex's brother was little, he got some sort of sv. His mum gave him a bucket and said "if you feel like you're gonna puke, put your head in this". The poor boy felt it coming but tipped the bucket upside down and literally put it on his head, like a hat as he hadn't got what she meant. Bless him! What a mess though!

I think I was 12, and I woke up around 5:00am with a dry cough that wouldn't ease up. The only thing I found that I could do was drink water to provide momentary relief. About 5 hours later I was sitting on the couch watching TV, still coughing nearly non-stop when I went to the kitchen to get another drink from the sink. I guess I had drank more than I could hold, because as soon as I stepped from the carpeted living room to the hardwood kitchen floor I let out a gush of water that would put a hose to shame.

It was so bizarre, and I didn't feel at all nauseous. It was also the first time in quite a few years that I had thrown up, so the first thing I did was walk to my Mom's room to tell her I threw up, but upon opening my mouth to tell her, out came more. I think I threw up 3 more times while walking around the house confused as to what was going on, my mom yelling at me to go to the bathroom.

I happened to find it hilarious after the fact, my Mom took a little longer to find the humor.
