So, the moral of my story is, if you're doing something that could upset a stomach and your kid comes up with an oddball complaint, point his or her oral orifice at a window or over the rail. Fast!

This is so entirely true!
Granted I don't have my own kids but I learned well from raising my god-daughter her first five years. She'd always get the funny look on her face when there was about to be an upchucking episode. I got to know that look very quickly and would point said child at the closest possible throw-rug/sink/toilet/trashcan.
By the time she was five she'd aim for my rag throw rugs them if not near the bathroom.
Hey, it's better then scrubbing it out of the carpet! Plus they are washing machine friendly!

Although last time I was down with pneumonia my husband went out and bought me a bright purple (favorite color)bucket and painted flames on it. Followed by a nice little graffiti style "Oral Spillage" on it. That way I could lay on the couch and not rush for the trash can or bathroom constantly.
Now that's love folks ;)

No hobie, no trouble. I just met D M & she is a very giving person, fun too! Keep on using Depends. ;)

We have the purple barf bucket in our house, too!!! lol And, boy, does it come in handy when you can't get the kids into the bathroom. We let them lay in their beds with the barf bucket right next to them when they're sick.
