Clark's first movie

We took Clark to his first movie tonight. We saw The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything. Clark loved it. It was a good movie. We got Clark some Reeses Pieces, water and popcorn. He sat there with his HUGE bag of candy, big bag of popcorn and ate like crazy while watching the movie. Every once in a while he would shout out a question about the movie. We would tell him to not talk so loud. He would wait several minutes and do it again. He was so funny we loved it. His first movie was a big success.

After the movie we picked up Charlotte from a friends house and went home. Clark and I dropped off the ladies so we could run a quick errand. As soon as we turned on to Portland I noticed that Clark stopped talking mid-sentence. He started coughing and suddenly he couldn't respond to my questions. The I realized he was puking all over himself. I quickly turned around and handed him a plastic bag I had in the car. We were a few blocks from home so I turned around. I told him to continue to puke in the bag and we would go right home. He continued to throw up in the bag. Once we reached home I jumped out and went back to get him.

He looked up at me and said, "Dad my throw up fell out of the bag." He was holding the bag upside down. Upon further inspection I realized that he was COVERED in his own vomit. His car seat was covered. The back seat of my car was covered. The floor of my car was covered. It reeked and he was crying.

I quickly picked him up and set him out in the garage. Then I stripped him down and took him inside. He jumped into the bath and cleaned up. Marian and I realized that he actually wasn't sick, he had just eaten too much candy and popcorn. I could tell because it was all over my car.

Rule number one when taking a 3 year-old to a movie: Don't let them eat all the candy and popcorn they want. It will quickly come up!

I will never eat another Reeses Pieces again.
