Erika thought about how she could prevent her parents from letting Tabitha babysit her - what if she became sick? Then they surely wouldn't go wherever they wanted to go and instead return home to care for their baby. She looked up to see if her parents were looking, and as they weren't she replaced the thumb in her mouth with some other fingers to make herself gag. Maybe it was the smell from her diaper, or just her toddler body's tendency to puke easily - but she immediately felt her stomach release it's content. She barely managed to pull the hand from her mouth before half-digested milk and applesauce gushed all over the front of her pyjamas.
Erika's mom turned around immediately. "Oh my god, are you okay sweetie?" She asked. Erika definitely wasn't. The taste was so disgusting she felt real nausea now, and a second wave followed immediately. This time, Erika turned her head to the side to avoid hitting herself again, instead throwing up on the side of her carseat and the car door. Being covered in puke felt really incomfortable and she still had the taste in her mouth, so Erika began to cry.
