There is a brand of diaper rash cream named Butt Paste.  We had some given to us a while back and despite the name I love the product. It is one of the best I’ve used on my children.  Well, now whenever I put anything on my kids’ little tushies, whether it’s vaseline, desitin, or any other rash ointment or cream, they affectionately call it “Butt Paste”.  And they know that Butt Paste helps “ouchy butts” feel better. So, there’s the backround…

All four of my kids have been throwing up for the past few days. Aaron must have had an “ouchy mouth” (sore throat) from throwing up so much, because he came to me yesterday,  with the most sweet, you-must-pity-me little voice and asked, “Mommy, can you put some Butt Paste in my mouth? I have an ouchy mouth.”

You know, it can actually get physically painful to hold in laughter, when all you really want to do is comfort your sick little child.
