And before no one wants to eat at my house ever again - I should explain that I wash the spoon over and over and over again before using it for food prep.

And yeah, Melissa, I totally should've grabbed a plastic bag or something. But you're right, the screaming would have become unbearable for that thirty seconds it would take to get one, so it didn't even occur to me at the time. I've just been washing my hand compulsively ever since. Probably time to go do it again now. . . .

At least they were there to lend you phones! And now they'll think you're human and relatable and they'll all be clamoring to be your new best preschool mom friends. Maybe. (Also, if you don't really love sticking your hand in pee, you can always use a ziploc bag as though it were a rubber glove. But then the screaming will continue while you run for the bag, so that may not really help you. Not that I have a ton of experience with things dropped in the toilet or anything...)
