Question of the Day!

Making "magic potions" my brother and I only did it once. We were dumb enough to throw bits of box shrub and other various things like dirt and twigs into a spray bottle full of water.

We shook it up and then my brother says "mom! We made a magic potion! Can we test it on you?" She consented so my brother sprayed it on her feet.

Turns out at least one of the ingredients in the potion was a toxin that could be absorbed through the skin. Mom survived but got really sick. That was the end of magic potions.

Thank god we were only about five and three years old. We didn't know what we were doing could've killed mom. Otherwise we would've been guilty of attempted homicide.
