Least Competent Mothers

From the AP via Yahoo via Raw Story:
Toddler Served Margarita in a Sippy Cup
A toddler who was served a margarita at a restaurant earlier this week is doing well, and investigators say the incident appears to have been an accident. Police say 2-year-old Julian Mayorga ordered apple juice but instead received an alcoholic beverage in a covered, plastic sippy cup on Monday night at an Applebee's franchise in Antioch, between San Francisco and Sacramento.

The boy's mother, Kim Mayorga, said she noticed Julian making funny faces and pushing away his cup. She opened the lid and was hit by the smell of tequila and Triple Sec. The toddler grew drowsy and started vomiting a few hours later and was rushed to the hospital. "I wasn't going to make a big deal about it," the mother said Thursday, "but then he got sick."


Meanwhile in other childrearing news this mother clearly needs to spend more time with one of her daughters. See if you can guess which daughter needs more time with her Mommy!

Some days I thank the dark gods that spawned me that I am childless.

When we go out and let the Spawn get sodas while we stick with H2O, we'll take a sip of their drinks as we're passing them to them. We'll joke "just making sure it's not tequila"

Where the hell did you find that picture?

I don't know about dark gods, so I just thank the doctor who tied my tubes. Motherhood is not for everybody... contrary to popular belief.
