McGross!!!!

I took DS to McDonald's. We ate and then I let him play in the Playplace. (I'm a germ phobe...so this was special that I even took him in there.) They have these tunnels and slides that look like giant hamster tunnels. DS was having a fabulous time...UNTIL some little girl peed in the tunnel. DS and some other kids got all wet crawling through it.

I hurried DS home and stuck him directly in the shower.
Now I'm washing his clothes and mine---my clothes got wet when I picked up DS.

Isn't that disgusting?

Not that it will make you feel better but my BF informed me the other day that "urine is sterile" when a puppy peed on me.

I was like, um, hold the gross medical knowledge and get me to a shower!

Pee doesn't bother me that much, but yeah, when it is from a kid you don't know it somehow is worse.

Sad, but really innocuous when you consider all of the things that ran through my head when I read the title of your post / destination playland. As far as what COULD have been, pee is the best choice.

Isn't that sad?

OK-

This is a saga about why it doesn't pay to be nice to people.

So, during my senior year of college I had an internship at a senior center. One of the people who was also there was a guy who was sent there to do community service.

One random weekend night he came on campus to go to a party and asked if he could spend the night.

Sure, I said, you can spend the night but you must be fully clothed and if you try anything I'll kill you. (We already had another friend of ours who had been kicked off campus living on our couch or I would have stuck him there) the evening proceeds, everyone is doing their own thing, I get home and go to sleep- dude eventually arrives and passes out on my bed. I really didn't care at that point- I was already asleep and he was fully clothed. So, about 7am I wake up and I'm HOT. I mean HOT and my thought was, "damn, I'm sweaty." and then the sound from Jaws rumbles through my head and BAM, I realize "Dude peed on me" and I guess he knew it and bolted and that's what woke me up.

My room-mate said she'd never seen or heard anyone scream and strip while running to shower like I did at that moment.

ick, ick, ick.

and needless to say, I never EVER let him live it down.

McGross is right. But like Jenn said, I can think of some worse things.

I think I have heard it phrased "urine is sterile to your own body". I like the your own body part.

I've also heard DH say the "urine is sterile" line. Now I have to ask him what that really means? :huh:

I think that unless the kid had a bladder infection or something it is sterile.

It's sterile and has antiseptic properties. In roman times they use to use it as mouth wash, to kill off decay causing bacteria. I've heard the ammonia in it helps jellyfish stings.

One of my sons found poop in a tunnel at Chuck E. Cheese once. Luckily my husband was crawling around up there with him and kept him out of it....DS was only a toddler at the time. So yeah, it could have been worse.

DH has always told me that urine is sterile, too. Didn't Chandler pee on Monica on an episode of Friends for some reason?

All actual health concerns aside, I'd still rather step over kid poop than wake up in adult urine. Ew, ew, ew....

[GrayMatterWife]

coulda been worse...she could have peed on the picnic table.

[madeintaiwan]

I hate those play place things. Thank god it wasn't poop. I have had poop flung at me multiple times. Oh the days of working with emotionally disturbed preadolescent kids.

I remember that episode...it was a jellyfish sting...but wasn't it Joey who did the peeing?
