[Magdalen] A kitchen drawer discovery.

[Sibyl Smirl]

I moved my stuff into my parents' house, with my 4-year-old daughter, 
right on top of their stuff after they died 3 months apart.  I organized 
things more slowly.  In one cabinet I found a sorta-prescription bottle 
of ointment that was for soothing and toughening nipples while 
breastfeeding a baby.  When I was feeding my little girl, the doc told 
me to use A&D ointment, that it wouldn't hurt the baby to ingest some of 
it.  I'm sure that I ingested some of that bottle, and probably a few 
atoms of it are still in my system somewhere.  I threw away the 
remainder of the bottle.

(I used curity diapers on my baby, too, but I don't think I have any of 
them left.  When we had a diaper emergency at her house, Mom grabbed a 
commercial dishtowel and used it on her.  That particular dishtowel 
remained with her diapers through the whole washing/clothesline routine 
until she was into training pants.)  Baby is now 42, and if she ever 
sees this post she will throw a major TMPI whing-ding, but she's not on 
Magdalen.
