Dearëst Zoë,

I'm so grateful for Poison Control.  Thank God for such a valuable service.  Today you thought a nice refreshing night cap of nail polish remover sounded like a good way to end the day.  Needless to say, your Daddy and I didn't really agree with your choice of beverages.  Typically, the old bar joke about choosing your poison is supposed to be just a figure of speech.  Luckily, you didn't drink enough to make you ill.  I've now put everything that could possibly hurt and/or appeal to you under firm lock and key.  I would have panicked more, but I've spoken to enough mamas to learn that most families have their heart-pounding moments like this. 

All my love,

Mama
