Why yes yes I do believe it is

No, but it IS the water you’ll be wearing.

Of course not! I dipped it out of the aquarium!

best not to irritate the guy who had to wake up at 3am to bring it.

Nah, I put ’em back in my mouth.

Yeah, me too.

It’s not water son.

that’s a well-spoken toddler. :D

That kid got to learn to be more thankful. Pff

Ptoooooie

The tooth? You can’t handle the tooth!

Picky, picky, picky.

Kids these days.

Waste not.. want not. Besides, it is now flavored.

“No, but thanks for giving me a good idea for the next time you wake me up at 3 am!”

No, but it does have a teaspoon of Dr. Beam’s nighttime elixir to help you sleep longer.

Too bad they don’t give kids Paregoric anymore. Nothin’ like a little dose of that on a teething baby’s gums to keep them quiet.

My favorite recipe for paregoric comes from an 1827 book on home remedies…“Paregoric Elixir – Take of purified opium, flowers of Benzoin, camphor, and essential oil of annis-seed, each, two drachms; brandy, two pints. Digest for eight or ten days, frequently shaking the bottle, and then strain the elixir.”

“No way! This is the little extra remaining after a good flush.”
