Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Given it was very clear from early on that my nephew was going to be Danger Boy, everything clearly toxic was housed elsewhere.
See, this is reason 1,529 why I should never be a parent. I see a bottle of roach spray under the sink and think, good place for it. Near any potential roaches. Who on earth would try to eat roach spray anyway?
Apparently nearly any toddler on earth, that's who.
As for the reason they're dangerous, maybe it has to do with the fact that they contain protein? I don't know why I think that, I just do.
IIRC, it's something about the structure of the protein in peanuts.
I think self-destruction is one of the primary goals of the toddler, right after not going to sleep and getting to the candy.
Well again, I think the speculation about them becoming so common is based on the idea that kids are exposed to too much of it, too soon.
I just don't get how kids now are more exposed than, say, kids in my generation. We were all about peanut butter, and I never went to school with a seriously peanut-allergic kid. It's not that I don't believe it, I just don't get it.
I am now going to spend the afternoon reading up in PubMed on peanut allergies. Curse you people! I have things to do!
Sonofabitch is gone.[link]
He's being replaced by the head of the Coast Guard, who by all accounts did a great job.
Here's your hat, what's your hurry; don't let the door hit you in the ass, on the way out; your cell is ready, and a 1,001 other platitudes to him.

At my kid's one-year checkup, the pediatrician looked me straight in the eye and said "For the next two years, your job is suicide prevention."
Damn straight.
First report: doctors mystified by increases in allergy rates. I also have garnered this lovely phrase: "negative peanut oral challenges".

I really don't know how our species survived. You'd think all the little cave-babies and toddlers would've choked on rocks (Annabel is fascinated by pebbles) or poisoned themselves by stuffing random leaves in their mouths.
