The Death of Dye
When my son was small (or was he ever small? I can’t recall…), he was not allowed to have red things. After one too many red Kool Aids or red Tummy Yummies, or red Popsicles that caused vomiting or other general illness, we decided that he was allergic to red dye, and so when we […]
