#10: Pass the Puke
The festive season has a knack for drawing families together, often in ways one wouldn’t anticipate. This Christmas Eve was no exception, as a routine family gathering shifted in an unexpected direction. The host, eager to celebrate with loved ones, had overlooked mentioning that their little ones had been ill and throwing up the week before.
Amidst the festive decor, this lucky sibling found themselves in a new role. Positioned between two toddlers, each clutching their own ‘puke bucket,’ the night transformed from merry-making to gentle caregiving. As each tot took turns playing ‘pass the puke,’ the true spirit of the family – chaotic, unexpected, but ultimately united – shone through in these less-than-ideal circumstances.
