Poison Apple

"The evil witch smiled secretly to herself as she watched the poison apple all being eaten up...."

That might have sounded like a scene from the story of Snow White but it is acted out in real life everyday. Yes, I'm the 'evil witch' feeding XX 'poison' apple everyday.

I mentioned earlier that as an aftermath of Kawasaki, XX has to take aspirin everyday. He used to struggle and fight as we force the 5ml dissolved aspirin solution into him. Even when we added Ribena syrup to it, he was too busy protesting to realise that it actually doesn't taste that bad. One day, YiYi was over for dinner and she ingeniously suggested mixing the medicine with XX's favourite chilled apple puree. Hey, why didn't we think of it earlier? XX never rejects apple! We tried it and it works! Presented differently in a cup and served innocently on a spoon, XX lapped up the whole concoction without half a clue about the 'poison' in it. Heh heh heh...

And we lived happily ever after.
