Apparently Linda gave Tomas some Mountain Dew. The kids gave her a hard time about it and she said it was just "a few drops" and then she got defensive about it, pointed to herself and said "MOTHER!" In other words, when it's your kid you get to screw with his diet and sleeping habits and stuff cuz you're the parent.
Then she left for work. Tomas began vomiting around 4 and his stomach hasn't settled yet!
AUUUUUGH!
You know what research on the internet shows? It's scary! More and more babies are given soda in their bottles before they are a year old! More and more babies are having their formula replaced with junk food like soda and fries.

Parents, take the soda out of the bottles! Don't give the babies junk food like fries and hotdogs just because they're easier to prepare. Do we care about our kids' nutritional health or not?
