The kids have been swimming a ton lately. It never fails that we get cases of swimmers ear over at the Rich house. I looked up a natural solution and made my own ear drops. 1/2 tsp of vinegar and 1/2 tsp of rubbing alcohol and put it in a little dropper. Naturally, the kids would be obsessed with this bottle and trying to steal it from what ever shelf I might put it on. Something different from the norm I guess. I caught Coulson playing with it and had to confiscate it. Then there was Nolan. He grabbed the bottle and was threatening Madison that he was going to dump it on her head. In effort to dump it on her head, he ended up squirting some into her mouth. The first thing I noticed was Madison crying. She's over the cry every time something happens stage of her life. I wish that was the case with the rest of them. Anyway, Maddi is crying and she tells me what happens. "Nolan was playing with that bottle and squirted some in my mouth and it burns!" It was a very traumatic moment for her. My response "Oh my gosh!! Hurry and rinse your mouth out!!! That had alcohol in it!!!!" She was so upset. Later, after the the commotion had settled she came to me all sad. She says "I can't believe that was the first time I drank alcohol and I'm only 9 years old!" Now, inside I'm thinking this conversation could go two ways...I could say "oh, sweetie, don't worry, it was just rubbing alcohol and that's different from the kind that people drink." but I went for the latter...
Me "It was pretty gross wasn't it?"
Maddi "yes, it was so disgusting, I don't know how people would want to drink that"
Me "exactly. I'm so glad you're smarter than all of those people"
A few minutes later I hear her telling Nolan in his room "Nolan, I drank alcohol for the first time and it was so disgusting. You should never try it."
Mission accomplished my friends. Mission Accomplished.
