My kids brought in a 5 gallon bucket about half full of water, containing a big rock, and a bunch of tadpoles. That wasn’t so bad until the tadpoles turned into little froggies, climbed up on the rock and jumped out of the bucket. Baby frogs were everywhere, and of course, some of them escaped, to die in places unseen, but definitely smelled. But that was better than the time my son brought a garden snake in a jar into the house….and opened the jar…

Mud!
A combination of dirt, grass, and dog poop.
No children but my dog has brang in mud.
Sooo embarassing, but…….my 2.5 year old daughter, right in the middle of potty training her (and teaching her that we pick up ALL our messes), decided that her “deposit” left in her potty should go into the regular trash can…well, she dropped it onto my rug, half way to the trash can, realized that it should be cleaned up, stepped on it while running to get something to clean it with, tracked it along the rest of the rug, then decided to wash it up with RED GATORADE! What else could I do, once I found it, but to smile and thank her for remembering that we clean up OUR messes!!
dog feces has to be the worst! Yuck!
I’d have to say mud because I see mud tracks on my floor time and time again.
Mud… and my daughter once dropped a bottle of laundry detergent, which split open and got all over the walls and floor.
When my wife was pregnant with our son, her water broke all over our bedroom carpet! He is now six months old. When he was just a newborn, as I was changing him one day, he projectile poo’d/farted which made it across the bedroom! Sorry for the graphic details but no way to sugar coat that! :)
Gross! Thankfully Poppet never tried that one! :-)
Luckily no domestic animals nearby.
Mud is the worst mess.
I don’t have any children, but I know that when my brothers and I were little my mom would constantly tell us not to track in the outdoors-mud and all that good stuff-with our shoes!

Red mud!
quite frankly, bodily fluids. ick
well it wasnt my human children, but my doggie children! my labs have a habit of getting into the trash, they also have a habit of getting into the cat litter. the cat litter had been scooped and placed in the trash…(my daughter was supposed to take it to the garbage can) and of course the labs found it! so they dragged cat poop and cat litter all over the living room. one of them even got sick after eating it, and we had to clean that up too!!! uck!!!
our “children” for now, are our 3 dogs…. And our chocolate lab brought in half of a bunny! :(
Grape juice.

Our baby can’t mess our floors up yet, but my husband is excellent at it! The worst is when he tries to wear his dirty yard work shoes in the house.
It can be hard to get some to remember to take off boots! :-). Don’t know where you’re located. We’re in Canada and shoes always come off. When we live in Oklahoma we had a sign on our front door: “Welcome! Please remove your footwear, it’s a Canadian thing!”

Ever tried to clean tar off the floor and carpet? It spilled while sealing the driveway and do you suppose the kids would think to remove their shoes before treking thru the house? Nooooooo….
