the moosh’s first trip to Chuck E. Cheese was today for a neighbors birthday party.
the moosh learned about the trots about an hour into the party.
the moosh had to leave her panties behind in a garbage can.
We had to leave early.
Mommyblog haters hate it when mommybloggers write about poop.
Hate away haters, I’ll have Chuck E. dig out those Cinderella panties and send ‘em to you.
That’s all I have to say about my day.
You?

Awwww, poor little moosh! And poor moosh’s mommy too!

Oh no! It wasn’t from food there, was it?
Also, you should know my niece nearly pees her pants each time we go there because “She’s having so much fun she doesn’t wanna go potty!!”

No, she’s had an upset stomach for a few days, it’s all out now! Don’t worry!

Chuck E. Cheese’s smells of pepperoni, feet and vomit. I don’t blame her.

My kid (3 sets of staples in three years to the back of the head and one broken bone) freaking ran into a wall and SLICED his upper ear a good 1/4 inch. So we got to run to urgent care with a hurt 4 yr old, rushed to get dressed shoeless 2 yr old and a mother who’s got bronchitis/asthma, two day old pjs and no bra on. Mother of freaking bad months. Your trots remind me of the time we had an explosion at sams and I had to strip my kid in the parking lot and spray him with water to clean the poop off. Sorry about all that.

I also heard it called Chuck E. Coli. I dread the day we get invited to a b-day party there.

poop posts don’t bother me. unless there are pictures. Then I am all, ‘oh no you didn’t!’ Anyway, once at Chuck E. Cheese’s, the person in the rat costume fake drank my daughters sprite and acted like he was pouring salt into his mouth. She won’t go back now, because she is holding a grudge.

I was in the same room as 2! (TWO!!!) episodes of Strawberry friggin’ Shortcake.
My ears are bleeding.
That &$GL)#!! song is repeating endlessly in my head.
Yet no children were harmed in the viewing of this cartoon hell.

I feel for the Moosh. I too went to Chuck E. Cheese’s for the first time yesterday.
I was sick all night and all I had was a slice of pizza. It was nast.
My kids were fine and so was Hubs. Just me… figures.
I do have to give them credit for keeping the place clean. They were constantly cleaning.

I misread Momo and thought it said ‘Chuck E Cheese smells of pepperoni, FEAR and vomit’. Either way, the comments here are making me crack up. But still, I hope the moosh feels better soon.

ew. you are cracking me up again. My sweet girl got the “boola boola” on the last day of mexico vacation and was horrified when her “toot” ended up being so much more…on the floor.
You can’t be a bloggy mom without ending up on the poop parade.

We had our own case of the trots here this past weekend. It started at a Mexican restaurant and continued through a visit to Target. Mommy carries fresh undies in her bag now.
By Heather on 07.30.08 9:14 pm | Permalink
Okay, I feel foolish asking this, but what is trots? I mean, I figured out the poop part of it, but is it a word made from two other words, like “shart?” hehe Seriously I can’t believe I’m actually asking this….

Was it a statement about the food or the entertainment? Either way, Chuck E. Cheese is where s**t happens.

I thought motherhood was all about the “poop”, isn’t it? Darn poop haters.
Poor Moosh and the Cinderella undies.

Ugh. Poor Moosh.
Poor Mom. Poor cute Cinderella underwear. That’s just misery, hope she is recovered.
C.E.C is an evil grease filled place, yuck.

I feel bad for the moosh AND you, because gah, the only thing worse than Chuck E. Cheese is dirty underpants at Chuck E. Cheese. Especially underpants so dirty that you have to abandon them.
My day was surprisingly good, but I think any day that doesn’t involve copious crapping is a good day!

Poor Moosh! I hope she’s feeling better. And the Cinderella panties? Was she devastated she had to leave them behind?

I just got home after a three day driving trip from California to Texas. Phew. My dirty house never looked so good.
And Chuck E Cheese gives me the trots, too.

I’m not a Mommyblogger, so I really have no idea what a “trot” is. I could google it, but…well…why? And anyway, I think I get it. I was a nanny in Europe once, and had to toss out many-a-underwears. Called it a business expense.

Yeah for mommyblogs and poop. Boo to haters. Okay, I guess I’m sometimes a poop hater but only in my hair or in the bath tub.
My first visit (Shannon sent me). I’m sorry your little one got Chuck-E-Cheesed, but funny post!

Listen, I crap myself just THINKING of going to that hell hole.
I can’t blame her one bit.

Chuck E. Cheese is a fucking psychotic bitch. I think it’s kind of cool you left a special present behind.

Yeah, Can’t blame the poor child. Huge scary mouse. Greasy pizza. Germs galore. Screaming children everywhere. I just hope she wasn’t embarrassed to the gills for leaving her panties behind.
By Dawn on 07.31.08 10:11 am | Permalink
Were the trots a result of their crappy pizza?
My niece and nephew have their birthday parties there all the time and I HATE THAT PLACE.

Oh poor Moosh. We had the trots along with Barforama here for a month. It’s finally going away. With 4 kids, it really isn’t that much fun.
By Kristin on 07.31.08 10:51 am | Permalink
I am not a big fan of Chuck or his cheese. Bad stuff happens there. When I was in high school, a worker was killed after-hours at a local Chuck E. Cheese. That’s bad on a whole different level than belly-sickness, of course. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to take my son there. Bad vibes on so many different levels.

Mommyhaters seriously miss out on how entertaining a story about the trots can be.
(And can I just say that I am so proud of you for throwing them away and not wrapping them up because God forbid you throw away underwear you could wash?!?!)

You should have given those panties to that big rat. That place is such a germfest, no wonder she got the trots! Okay, I’m sure it wasn’t from there that quickly. And mommybloggers don’t mind poop stories, at least I don’t!

Where would us mommybloggers be without poop? Poor Moosh, hope everything is getting a little better. Just for your info…around these parts (my house) we call the trots, Hershey Squirts. So hate on that! LOL

I worked at Chuck E Cheeses in high school. Let’s just say, the trots do NOT surprise me.

Poor Moosh- was she mad about leaving the panties?
Don’t feel bad about one little poop post- I’ve got a whole category for vomit on my blog.

Moosh Momma,
I am the husband of Reese (of “Butterneck Toad” fame). I have greatly enjoyed your blog; as it had been narrated by Reese, to me, for quite a while. I think you are brave and terrific. I can’t articulate in this feeble little text box what I would want to say to someone with the huevos to put their lives out there with such candor. These days, its hard to find inspiration… so thank you once again.
