Toxic

Or to be a bit more precise, non-toxic. As in the moisturizer that our little E got a hold of and apparently ate a bit of. As my wife was cooking dinner and my son was playing whilst I was trying to find out when his last physical was for Kindergarten, our little angel was getting into my wife's makeup stuff. She came out of our room covered in lipstick and moisturizer. The lipstick was only on her leg, chest (she had a shirt on, so I'm not sure how she got it there), around her chin, most of her left arm, (I think she's a righty), and somehow, a little bit on her back. The moisturizer was surrounding her mouth, she looked like the Joker with the makeup reversed. I asked if she'd eaten any of he moisturizer, because it looked like most of it was smooshed into the carpet around the base of the sinks in our bathroom. She claimed that she did eat some, so my lovely wife had turned down the stove that was percolating our dinner, checked the label of the offending jar of skin smoother, and it said to call poison control, which she did.

I learned from the poison control guy that anything you can put on your face is non-toxic so we didn't have to worry about it. If she had eaten the whole jar it was possible that she'd get the runs, but that was not a distinct possibility. Don't you just love how much you can learn from me? My wife feels that this happened because she's been prepping our daughter for the world by letting her get ready with her at the sink. E's got her own little bag of toy cosmetics and everything.

So she knows where all the good stuff was hiding. So another little lesson for us. We gots to put those damn drawer locks on more drawers now. I guess I have a new task for tomorrow. Super.
