BURLINGAME, Calif. -- All parents have been there and can recount with horror the vomit stories of their young children.
But a Northern California man posted some screenshots of texts he sent to his wife after their young child vomited in their vehicle. The poor guy's story has been liked more than 70,000 times and shared more than 120,000 times.
But the vomiting wasn't the worst part of Ben Patterson's adventure.
It started when Patterson said he met up with his wife, Stephanie, to switch vehicles so she could go out with friends and he could take the kids home.
On the drive, their son, Declan, had an epic vomit. Patterson took a photo and sent it to his wife, who didn’t respond.
Things continued to go downhill for Patterson. He stopped on the side of the road in front of a woman's home. And as the woman saw him vomiting, she came out to accuse him of drunk driving with the children in the vehicle.
And, of course, she called police.
Patterson passed the Breathalyzer and went home with his still-vomiting son.
