We went to the usual weekend little kid's birthday gathering with mandatory jumpy house in the backyard. Jake's shoes were off due to the jumpy house and he managed to make a few runs of the backyard in his socks so they got very dirty. He was very tired after the party and on his way home instead of popping a binkie (pacifier) into his mouth he peeled off one of his filthy socks and stuck it in his mouth! Retch!
Jake is 3 rows back in the mini-van so I couldn't reach him to tear the offending sock out of his mouth and I was driving so I couldn't climb back there. Erik can't turn around in a moving vehicle because he gets car sick. I was forced to look at the below image everytime I looked in my rearview mirror. Gag!
As soon as I got home I snuck that hideous thing out of his mouth. And took a picture of it. The toes of the sock were in his mouth and he was actually sucking on it like a pacifier. This nice family owns a large dog so you can just imagine the things that sock picked up. Heave!
I guess it's nice to know that I have not become as jaded as I thought I had. Maybe having a 4th child will finally make me immune to all things disgusting. Hurl!

OMG Kat and I just read this together (here in LA) and as we both went through, there was a synchronized "eeeewwwww" at the second photo. That is so gross. :-) For what its worth, I do believe in not being a super germ-o-phobe because I think it helps build resistance so maybe on the bright side, he will not get sick for the next six to twelve months. Here's hoping. :-)
That is most excellent. In a completely horrific way, of course.
Barb, Kat, Britta,
I really hope it gives him an iron immunity. Erik was completely unconcerned and I was just grossed out! Jake is just kind of an animal. He prefers to drink water from puddles and eats sand, etc. He is just kind of disgusting.
