I had a conversation with a momma friend the other day in which I actually said the words, 

"I never imagined I’d have someone else’s snot in my mouth."

It’s a really rare occasion that you even have your own, but at least the logistics of that are foreseeable. Alas, when your kid is snotty there are a myriad of way in which you will find yourself with their snot in your mouth.

It’s unexpected each time.

And salty.

And, needless to say, I got a cold. It’s alright. Napping with your number one is a nice way to pass a weekend afternoon. Way nicer than someone else’s snot in your mouth.

Spoiler alert for any not-yet-parents, I’ve also said aloud, “I never imagined how often I’d willingly wipe my kid’s snot on my own clothing.”
