No Soup for You!

According to Madan, soup is toxic -- a horrible poison that will kill you.

Yesterday was Madan's 6th day of Safety Town. The "Street Team" from Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital's Injury Prevention Center visited to discuss poison safety. (Or, scare the crap out of kids.) The kids got handouts entitled, "Circle Me If I'm Safe to Eat." (Yes. If I had created that sheet, the pictures would have been very different and I probably would have been fired.)

Madan's completed handout left a few unanswered questions.


  1. Are those vitamins or muscle relaxers?
    No clue, but Madan wants to eat them. So, he's either going to be totally healthy or totally comatose. That one's a win-win, I guess, provided the coma is temporary.

  2. What up with the soup?
    Could he have mistaken the can for something else, say, Comet? Or, had he witnessed my parents opening up some Campbell's Condensed Tomato Soup, a red blob plopping out into a saucepan while maintaining the shape of its container? If he did, then good job, Doobie! Food, especially liquid food, shouldn't keep the shape of its can.
I guess soup isn't always good food.
