"Code Red" was the watchword that myself and ex-wife would use if one of our childer were to vomit in their cot. With 5 children it happened frequently, we had our set plan, she would take the child from the cot and clean them throughly in the bathroom, I would take all the stained bedsheets and mattress from the cot and replace them with clean sheets and new mattress and the cleaned child would be replaced in to their clean bed.
Then we would take the stained mattress out in to the garden, she would hold it up and I would hose it off with the garden hose before laying it against the back wall to dry out.
One night fer no particular reason after I had finished hosing down a mattress I turned the hose on the ex-wife, at First she screamed but then she just stood there and took it, when I had finished my Folly she went in home and changed her clothes saying nothing at all.
A month later it was late one night that I was putting out the wheelie bin, I wheeled it around to the front of the house then returned back to the house via the back door, I opened the back door only to be hit with a bucket of cold water thrown by my ex-wife !
