Hi, the environmental scientist here again (remember me from my long open letter to Sophie a few threads ago?)
So I've been reading and sitting on the back row with my popcorn as per and something just occured to me regarding the whole baby thing.
So for those of us who have had babies and/or those of us who has cared for babies - you know that time in their development when they start to roll over? That time when they lay on their cute little bellies and get frustrated because they want to crawl but can't quite get it? You know, that time when they try to crawl but then give up so face-plant the rug instead and have a suck on it because it is just a something different in its inquisitive little mouth?
Or the time in their development when they suck on their bedding because again, they are inquiring little buggers and every thing they grab hold of goes straight into their mouths? Or maybe that time of their development when they start to teethe and they grab and chomp and gum anything they can?
And now fast forward to Baby Hinch... Sucking on his cot bedding caked in febreeze, chomping down on his toys that have no doubt been disinfected with Zoflora. Face planting that frikken horrendous rug of hers (which due to the long pile will be very appealing to grabby little baby fingers) and then having a good old suck on those long rug fibres, every one of which has been coated with years of 1001 build up etc... ?
Now fast forward 30 seconds later to when Baby Hinch is being violently ill, no doubt projectile vomiting and doing anything it can to expel those nasty chemicals it has just sucked on. Now fast forward to the ambulance being called..... The seizures.... The rest you can make up with your educated minds....
THAT
is when we see her change her ways and we see her demise.
And now I shall go back to my popcorn, reading my science books, and sit quietly until another little nugget pops into my head.
Peace out
(oh and I grow my own, compost, have fruit trees, greenhouses, potting shed etc also and I use a Mooncup, recycle, buy from a local farm shop rather than a supermarket.... Etc etc etc.
So to those who GYO and care about our environment... high five!!! ?️)
