Chunky Water?

The girls had a rough night last night and kept taking turns getting up and wanting to be tucked back in.  It was AJ’s turn.  I tucked her in and a few minutes later noticed the bathroom light come on.  I didn’t think much of It, assuming that she was going to the bathroom.  A little bit later she was back in my room again.  I sent her back to her bed.  She said “but it is wet”.  I asked her how it got wet and she told me that she got water and spilled it.  By this point I was up and in her room.  The light was still off, but even in the dark I knew something was not right.  So I asked her again what made her bed wet.  She confirmed that it was water.  So I turned on the light.  The wet spots clearly were “chunky”.  There were piles of something in the wet spots.  My first thought was that she had thrown up.  But I was sure that if that had been the case she would have told me.  I asked AJ why the water was chunky.  She then admitted that she had taken the left over milk shake from earlier in the day out of the freezer and was drinking it.  So the chunky water was in fact strawberry milkshake.   I have to say that of all the possibilities running through my head, milkshake was a much more pleasant reality.
