When Dad, Ben Patterson, was watching his kids so his wife, Stephanie, could go out, he got more than he bargained for on the drive home after swapping cars with his wife after work.
On the way home, his toddler threw up and it was enough to make Ben stop the car and dry retch on the side of the road.
A flurry of text messages were sent to his wife about the ordeal. His wife didn’t respond.
‘So this just happened,’ he wrote. ‘I just pulled over and am trying not to throw up myself.’
No response.
‘Call me.’
Still no response.
‘I just threw up trying to clean him up,’ Ben continues. ‘It smells SO BAD.’
Still no response from mum.
The text messages are hilarious as Ben explains the cops show up to breathalise him to see if he’s drunk.
So far the text messages have been shared on Facebook over 147,000 times and liked by 89,000 people.
One commenter asked Ben,‘I don’t know you but I’ve been in that vomit issue many times…I feel for ya…what did your wife say?’
And Ben replied, “She had a good laugh about it, and then dealt with the swamped car seat and barfed clothes that I left for her because I couldn’t handle it. She’s amazing.”
She certainly is Ben.
