This Dad’s Hilarious Ordeal With His Puking Toddler Is Going Viral

If you have children, chances are pretty high you are in the possession of an epic puke story (or five!) Such is life with little ones, sometimes they just cannot make it to the toilet bowl before, ehm, nature calls. And if you yourself are a “sympathetic vomiter” (you know, someone who cannot stand the smell and sight of puke, and will be made so unwell by this that you yourself might actually get sick), prepare yourself to be majorly grossed out – yet feel strangely sympathetic towards this poor father. It all started while Ben Patterson was driving with his son, Declan, when the toddler threw up. Apparently not one to handle such situations well, Ben quickly pulled over, jumped out of the car and tried to get a handle on things. (He also felt the need to snap a pic and share with his wife, as one does. And the rest, as they say, is pure internet gold. “So this just happened,” Ben texted his wife, Stephanie. “I just pulled over and am trying not to throw up myself… Call me… I just threw up trying to clean him up… It smells SO BAD.” When things got icky, Ben got sick. All over some old lady's garden. Y-uck! Oh, and to make things worse, the older woman accused Ben of drinking and driving, and called the police on him, who of course showed up and demanded a breathalyzer. Thankfully passing that, Ben was left to continue home, (still left with a vomit-covered son in the back, of course), and ended the text rant to his wife with the epic line: “WHAT DID HE EAT BECAUSE IT SMELLS LIKE ROTTING WHALE BLUBBER.” Oh, Ben. Do you have a story that’s a little bit gross and a whole lotta hilarious? We’d love to hear it! Tweet us at @Herfamilydotie
