Pink Diet Pill

Next to triple burger with extra cheese and sauce sits a pink diet pill. This pill guarantees you can eat all you want and still lose weight. It cost me a mere twenty-six dollars and fifty-two cents. There is a pamphlet on it that is six pages long. It has small print. I have no desire to read it. I reach for the triple burger and my child reaches for the pink pill! Leave that alone! I screech, snatching it out of his hand. How dare he! What did the pamphlet say? My husband asks. Not sure, I tell him as I gulp the pill down with milk. “Never take this pill with milk,” my child reads. And this my friends is why you do not want your child to read.
