The invention of the child-proof medicine bottle proved to work too well on many occasions. Today’s video demonstrates.

How he did that with a straight face is beyond me!
Thanks for the Friday laughs!
Brilliant! I love that guy! 👏🤣
Thanks! I needed that! LOL!
Often, when I think about childproof bottles, I recall a story in Reader’s Digest from 1976. “My Father’s Hands” is one of those short tales that reveal the power of real-life stories well told. I haven’t read it in 46 years, but it still holds up.
Of note, “My Father’s Hands” was published back when RD delivered a component of quiet faith. I’m only a little embarrassed to say I still subscribe. The little perfect-bound magazine has lost its heart. But I still read every page, probably in honor of my mom who shared an appreciation for the stories and humor.
I dare you to read it without tearing up. The tale is an excellent reminder for all writers about the power of words and the gift of reading.

Gotta love Tim Conway! Thanks for the laugh!
A friend went on a medical missions trip to an impoverished nation. She showed me her photos:
Here are the empty shelves in the clinic when we arrived.
Here are the same shelves filled with new medications.
Here we are teaching the locals how to open the child-guard caps.
This is a practical and fun metaphor for some AI tools: challenging to learn how to use but, once opened, can provide valuable tools for the writing life. I appreciate laughing!
Always enjoyed Tim Conway. But I don’t remember this one. Thanks for the laughs and the memories.
Brilliant! That man is really great!
