Our World Has Gone Crazy Week -- Part 3

Salmonella Everywhere!!

First green onions, then spinach, and now peanut butter. Nothing is safe to eat anymore. I mean, really, how exactly are feces getting into the peanut butter??!

And here is the crazy part...

My babysitter (the one who can eat a pound of salami in one sitting) has had bathroom "issues" for over three weeks. About two weeks ago, she tells me that her dog now has the same issues. Well of course, it turns out she has been eating bad peanut butter...almost FOUR jars of it...over the past four weeks. So, 1.) Who can eat four jars of peanut butter and not weigh 400 pounds? and 2.) How are she and the dog not dead? Either she has a killer immune system or they both just built up a tolerance from eating two peanut butter/bacteria-laced sandwiches a day. (Like how people in Mexico don't get sick from the water?)

And yes, she feeds her dog sandwiches...do you really find that surprising?

P.S. HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my fabulous husband, Dan, and to my best friend from high school, Halle. Both of whom turn 35 today! Welcome to the downhill slide guys. :)

Wow. Four jars of peanut butter in as many weeks. How is she not constipated? People in Mexico DO get sick from the water at least once - believe me. But once you know the bug, the bug knows you, and you don't get sick THAT BADLY anymore.

Happy Birthday to your two loved ones!

We Mexis have a saying for everything, I'd say your babysitter fall into the "yerba mala nunca muere" category, which means that weeds are hard to kill (and in her case, to gain weight). :D

Nothing is safe to eat anymore, apple juice, lettuce, PB? c'mon!

Happy Bday to your hubby and best friend! Ah, the younger are catching up to us.

I'd missed the green onions one! Maybe she buys those tiny travel size jars of PB?
Glad you're feeling better!

We feed our dog leftovers from the dinner table all the time. The family that has diarrhea together stays together.......mainly to bring fresh rolls of toilet paper to those stranded on the pot. Family unity building exercises.

Ok, you need to pop in an afterschool special on binge eating the next time your sitter is over.
