well a couple of weeks ago, sawyer, my four and 1/2 year old got into some medication, popped the top off, and ate like 20 pills. i thought he was playing outside with william, my oldest son, but he was sneaking about, eating pills...i hope its not genetic...eating pillz like candy, but anyways...we called 911, and about four heart attacks later, were at the hospital, and the nurse is asking my very inebriated 4 year old what his favorite song is.

he says, "the greatest song in the world" and she looks at me, and says...
is he talking about tenacious d?

of course i looked like the model parent...lemme tell ya.

so i had to baby proof my house again, for my kid who is almost five!
ugh!
this one keeps me on my toes like you wouldnt believe.

did you know that child proof ...isnt really?

who would have known.

Aaaah, kids.

I had a similar experience many years ago with one o' mine. It was hell makin' her drink that entire glass of charcoal, but she was okay. Oh, she ate an entire bottle of her mother's synthroid . . . pretty little pink pills.

And then there's li'l kids' love o' dogs, which is good, but sometimes they git carried away. You know. . . things like kissin' a dog on the mouth (and, of course, the dog reciprocates with a thoroughly slobber-drenched lappin' all over the child's face), right after the dog's been chompin' on a horseturd, lickin' his buddy's ass, i.e., doin' typical dog stuff.

Glad yer son's alright, Chellabie.

Amen.

As a recent member to "The Parent Club", these kinds of stories make me nervous. The worst my daughter does now is spit up on me.

What kind of pills were they?

Just curious, so I can determine exactly how much classical sauce was going on at the time.

(when I was 4 I ate an entire bottle of aspirin).

when I was four I talked my brother into drinking a whole bottle of cough syrup with me. my mom had left the bottle upstairs in our room and since I thought it was like candy we drank up. I don't recall how my mom found out we had drank the syrup, but it didn't take long.

then I remeber my mom flipping out and then telling me I had to sit in one place and not to move until the EMTs showed up. at that point I had to go into the bathroom and drink epicack until I puked, but it took like four doeses.

needless to say my mom never left medicine out again and even if she had I wouldn't have touched it with a ten foot pole.

I ate a whole pack of my mom's birth control tablets when I was about 4.

I had to drink 2 litres of saltwater, and I can never give birth, being a man could also be the cause of point 2.

they were klonopin, he ate about 25 of them.

he was so drunk...it was sad, and funny and scary all at the same time.

i was totally flipped out and it scared me to death, and im so glad hes okay.

i think it was the quick response and noticing that something was wrong with him that got him help fast enough to make things okay.

hes my wild one, but i love him just the same

Wow Chelle, glad to hear your son's ok.

I spared my mother the heart attack and waited until my sophomore year of college to experiment with munching prescription pills and otc drugs. Don't get me wrong, my pals and I had sniffed, snorted, smoked, and ingested damn near every "run-of-the-mill drug."

But one afternoon we decided that it made sense to get fucked up on our childhood meds. Each of us chose something that we thought was "yummy" once upon a time, went to CVS, bought a bottle, and proceeded to down it. My pal Fitz ate a bottle of baby aspirin, Johnny P got loaded on Robitussin. Me? I drank a bottle of orange Triaminic.

Besides a throbbing headache, Fitz was basically ok. But Johnny P and I sank into extreme intoxication. Moving was useless, but oh, how we gabbed! Everything that we muttered was funny, complex, and intense. That part was fun. What sucked was that I saw trails. Everywhere!

The next day, after I'd more or less sobered-up I was still seeing trails everywhere. Someone would walk past--I'd see their shadow. A bird would fly across the sky--I was able to track its entire trajectory. Wave my hand in front of my face? I could see its path for 20 seconds later. This went on for 48 hours before I finally sobered-up.

I haven't touched orange Triaminic since.

Out of interest how did he get to the pills?

I wonder if it's possible to sue the manufacturer of the pill bottle if they claimed it was child proof.

Glad to hear he's ok by the way

Only ate a tonne of Vitamin C tablets..
They make them taste so damn nice, you can't stop at one!!


Although, I have previously switched someone's Cough Mixture with some nice home made Ouzo.. was only around 68% Alcohol, and the person was a Cadbury (glass and a half gets them drunk)

Lucky for us she was too drunk to care... and it cured her cold =)
