While on our road trip, actually, only a few miles into it, we had a mishap with Miss-chevious Lexie.
She opened her travel bag of activities and goodies and asked if she could eat her candy in her bag. I said "You can eat anything in your bag"...(I put one lollipop, a fruit snack and some juicy fruit in their travel bags)...Lexie, said, "EWWWW, here Mom, this candy is for the cat"....I knew exactly what she was talking about, Silica Gel. I got on my cell phone, called information and got connected to Poison Control.
Luckily, it is not poisonous. It is, however, a choking hazard, and Lexie was eating her lollipop and drinking all of my water, so I knew she wasn't choking. Nice way to start off a 6 hour road trip, eh?
BY THE WAY, the number for Poison Control is 1-800-222-1222.
make a note of the number, you don't want to be driving 70 MPH and searching for the number, trust me.
I love that she said "this is for the CAT!" ROFL
ReplyDeleteI'm curious if your mom attempted any tricks for april fool's day?
Love that pic of Lexie, so dramatic. Sorry you had such a scare on the road. It's amazing how cool and collected we need to be when we have to. You know I have some issues with traveling, the farthest I've gone in the car with the kids is approx. 1 1/2 hours. Whoop-de-doo!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is scary! Glad things are better!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo :)
Amazingly enough with the four of them, I have never had to call poison control. Knock on wood.
