What do you do when you vomit on the street?

Seriously, what is the etiquette? Are you obligated to find a few spare napkins and attempt to sop it up? Or if you were able to aim mostly on the median grassy area, can you feel free to just keep walking?

Let me be clear...I didn't know that I was going to vomit until about 5 seconds before it happened. We were out in a walk in a potential neighborhood that we are scouting for future homeowning. (Great impression, I realize). Far from the car.

I chose to keep walking and prayed that the sullen couple approaching with two miniature poodles were not witnesses to my vomit. Dave supported me. Spence was in the stroller and hardly took note of the tell tale hacking cough.

No, I was not drunk. Just pregnant. Again. And with a vicious case of all day sickness that even medicine cannot totally keep at bay.

I was prepared to scuffle with the sullen couple if they talked trash to my barfing bride. Lucky for them they kept quiet. -david

Just keep walking and don't make eye contact. Oh, and make sure to wipe your lower lip.

For some reason this makes me think of some long-ago blog post you did about a man peeing on the grass! :)

I think vomiting in public is all en vogue right now with the celebrity moms. It's like, "look, she eats cereal, she walks the dog...she throws up while walking with husband and baby #1." You're just keeping up with the rich and famous :)
