I say, "Change the rules!"

I think there is a rule written that children must get sick after 1:00 a.m., preferrably after you have reached the stage in sleep that, if disturbed, jolts you from your bed and finally wakes you up half way to the sick child's room. Hopefully, the child has stayed in their room or you miss any "land mines" along the way.

I hereby propose that this rule be banished from the "Child's Book of Life". It will be replaced by, "I will always make it to a bathroom or garbage can, no matter what time of day or where I may be." Your votes and support is much appreciated.

P.S. Please don't tell the children. Their counter measures and sheer numbers may blow this whole thing out of the water.
