Corn in my lint-trap

Yes it is true, there is corn in my lint trap. How? you may ask? Well let me tell you -- it is not pretty.

It all starts with dinner. I decided to go with a "kid friendly" dinner last night. Lucas mentions at the table that his stomach doesn't feel so well - and coming from him, I have to believe him, yet i try to ignore it at the same time. He eats a chicken nugget, some mac and cheese and some frozen corn. not much, but enough to satisfy the dinner police.

Scott and I went out for the evening and returned around 10pm. Lucas was up telling me he had a stinky bottom (and it hurt). Well needless to say, he had been in the bathroom quite a bit while we were gone, and it wasn't looking good. We plopped him into the tub for a bit, got his PJs back on and got him back in bed.

About 30 minutes later, he comes back down and tells me he threw up. Lucas has never been one to make it to the bathroom when he's throwing up, or even a bucket if it was near (in this case it wasn't). He tried to tell me he didn't throw up in bed, but on the floor - this is only semi-accurate. yes it was on the floor, but it was also everywhere else.

Scott and I went to work in cleaning up the carpet (and the wall!?) and i grabbed the sheets from the bed - and got them in the wash right away.

This morning i put the sheets into the dryer and afterward when I cleaned the lint trap for the next load and what did i find? Corn. Now this corn was not whole kernel corn. At least not any more, mostly just the hulls of the kernel. After going through the dryer, they were actually crispy. Yum.

So, that is how I got corn in my lint trap.
