"Splash," Tyler jumps into the puddles of wet puke. I feebly attempt to remove his spew-soaked shoes, but he kicks his short legs and the regurgitated chocolate chip cookies land in my lap. I've had enough. "Ohhhkay, everyone. Outside playtime!" I shout about the screams of "cooties" and "ewwww". The room grows silent for a moment as if in quiet contemplation, then a loud roar of la
