Short and Sweet: Saturated

Yesterday's lesson in 100 or fewer words:

  3. Oh. My lesson from today, in 100 words or less: keep deodorant out of the two-year-old's reach. Her clothes, hair, and breath! now smell like deodorant. But the woman I spoke with at poison control said my daughter will be ok. My response? "I figured; she's too mean for anything terrible to happen to her." On the other end? Dead silence.
