Incident Report: fish and dr. bronners
There is a gag order here at Martins St so I cannot tell you exactly what happened here tonight. What I can do is repeat a curious story that Elsie told me shortly after the incident occurred:
(in the style of Pete Rock):
M: What happened tonight in the bathtub, Elsie?
E: A fish jumped out.
M: What?
E: A fish jumped out of the bottle. Into my mouth.
M: A fish jumped into your mouth?
E: Yeah. Into my throat. Then Elsie cried.
M: What happened to the fish?
E: I spit it up into Daddy's hand.
M: Where is it now?
E: In the toilet. Under my spit. Under my pee.
All I can say is, reckless indifference to a toddler's life. And not for the first time either - remember this?
