Tylenol Recall…

As you probably know by now. Nevertheless, here is the link:
TYLENOL RECALL 2010

Since we gave our son doses of one of the recalled Children’s Tylenol last week, I had a mommy freak-out today when reading about the recall, especially the bit about possible “particles” in the liquid. Let’s interview me for a second:

PB–how do you feel about having just given your son a s***load of potentially toxic, harmful, particle-filled, very bad stuff posing as medicine to your one and only beloved toddler?

Hm. Let me see. I feel—–*@#*%!!!!!!! I feel as if I should never, ever have purchased Tylenol, but done my research and found some wonder-organic fever and pain reliever. I feel as if my investigative diligence is seriously lacking when it comes to what’s best for my toddler. Since the recall was announced, I have silently screamed, snapped at my husband, privately wailed and Googled holistic and homeopathic topics incessantly, downloaded lists having to do with pesticides in fruits and vegetables, growled into my pillow, FB’d my concern and eaten obscenely thick wedges of brie. Any questions???

Yes, just this: does your son show signs of illness, rashes, odd behavior, excessive fatigue, listlessness or anything, really, that might alarm?

What are you getting at? You sound like my husband!!!

Surely your son is fine. Sit back, have a glass of wine, call the doctor in the morning and step away from Google, PB. Just step away.

Listen–you can’t possibly be a parent, because if you WERE you wouldn’t offer such ^$%*@ advice! Why don’t you go stick your questions in a firecracker headed right up your a@#!!!

Night, night, PB.

Grrrrrrrrrrr….zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…….
