Megan was sick this week. On Monday I was concerned that her throwing up would lead to dehydration (i.e. seizure) so I bought her an orange Gatorade. She drank the whole thing, and was feeling better by bedtime. She awoke around 10pm and needed to go to the bathroom. Her clothes were wet, so I attributed the accident to all the Gatorade and being sick. She went to the bathroom and I saw that her bottom was bright orange. The nurse in me started thinking of all the reasons: allergic reaction, too much Gatorade, some weird disease. I gave her a bath- and sent her to my bed with an orange bottom. I was a little concerned. I decided to get her sheets to wash them from her accident. That is when I saw the Gatorade cup upside down on her bed. She didn't have an accident, or a reaction to the Gatorade. She had been marinating in Gatorade for a few hours. This picture is from the next morning.
