I went to get vitamins today. Actually, I went to get lice-killing shampoo (I forgot that winter has bugs, too - but why are the lice allowed to return before the cockroaches all die? why???) and got vitamins too.
It reminded me of a conversation I had with one child a few weeks ago, when we ran out of vitamins:
Child (sadly): It's all my fault the vitamins are gone.
Me: Aww, sweetie, it's not your fault. Everyone had some vitamins and now they're gone. That's what happens, when you eat it it's not there anymore.
Child (still sad): But it was my fault.
Me: Everybody ate some, not just you. And anyway, we'll get more.
Child: But I'm the one who did it.
Me: Why do you think it's your fault?
Child: Because in the mornings I sneak the bottle off the shelf and take an extra one.
The bottle is now well out of reach (I hope - I thought the last one was, too) so hopefully nobody will be getting extra-vitamin poisoning or whatever it is that happens when you eat too many of those things.

Uhh! Maybe the extra vitamin will offset all the marshmallows, krembos, and sweet popcorn you keep giving them!!!
