The Day we called Poison Control....


You always like to do things yourself! When you get hungry - you go to the pantry and hunt for food. You had recently started moving around the bar stool to gain new heights. You had also recently discovered the treasure that awaited you in the medicine cabinet.

Lo and behold - the next thing we see is a hungry little man standing on kitchen counter enjoying his little beverage (of an infant fever reducer of course). We call Poison Control; and we do the math of how much we managed to snatch from you; and how much was there originally and your weight etc - and they said you are out of danger! Phew! I still wonder how you knew exactly which bottle to pick from that lot! Your mom thinks you can open those child lock things; your dad thinks the bottle was not well sealed. Anyway, we did the post mortem of the situation and took some corrective measures - as did you. You figured how to sneak in there when no one's looking, do it quietly and drink it faster!

Few days later, we were on a skype call with your naani. You took the opportunity to sneak behind your mom; you were almost ready to climb up when your naani told me to look behind! Ha! Bet you didn't expect us to team up against you!

I bet those who make the kids' medicines so yummy have no idea of the story like this one. I am sure I am not the only freaked out parent making such calls - and hopefully Poison Control Department will provide them the feedback! To be fair - we had hardly introduced you to the joys of sugar till then; now I am sure you can think of yummier things to party on than an Ibuprofen!
