This happened…
Have you ever been in the Grocery Outlet, letting your child spend the $5 gift card she won from a coloring contest aaaannnnddd forgot that you put some medication, in the form of a pill, in your pocket? Then did you pop that pill like the piece of gum you thought it was and bite down aggressively to begin your gum chewing? Did you immediately taste possibly the worst, most bitter taste you have ever tasted….realize what you had done and quickly form a game plan to get it out of your mouth fast? Were you standing behind your daughter as she looked at toys….did you put your hand to your mouth and spit in it? Did you dig out the chunk that was stuck in your back molar and spit again? Were you standing in the aisle with a handful of spit and broken pieces of pill…gagging on the bitter taste still in your mouth while looking for a place to hide the evidence of your stupidity? Was the only place you could find to stash your stash…the floor, under the bottom shelf? Did you look all shady, like a shoplifter? Did your tongue go numb and cause a bit of concern….debating on whether a call to the 24hr nurse hotline was in order? Did you leave the Grocery Outlet and get a surge of guilt, thinking that a child may eat your spitty pill off the floor? Were you relieved when the numbness finally left your tongue hours later? I may or may not have had this happen to me today.
