Second Case; voice

[onceaguardian]

... Just because I haven't called the poison control center in three months doesn't mean my daughter's dead.

I have no idea what on Earth possessed the representatives to think otherwise. [If anything, Bruce doesn't sound upset by this revelation so much as irritated and... well, he's kinda wondering what kind of parent his Haven!self was if this

Why is the poison control calling your house, and why do they think your daughter's dead?

[onceaguardian]

My Haven self called poison control center often to receive help for my daughter's strange drinking habits. ... Since we weaned her back to normal drinks, I haven't been calling poison control.

The control center feared that she'd somehow died in the meantime.

[was_angelcondom]

Wow. That's one big jump to strange conclusions. how is your daughter doing then?

[onceaguardian]

Oh, she's fine. Cass gets into mischief every now and then, but it's never that bad.

[was_angelcondom]

Well that's good to know. What were her strange drinking habits, if you don't mind my asking?

[onceaguardian]

[And this is where his voice sounds slightly embarrassed] She liked the taste of Windex.

[was_angelcondom]

[Adam winces.] Ow. At least she's not touching it any more.

[onceaguardian]

Thankfully. I know kids have weird tastes, but this one probably takes the cake.

[was_angelcondom]

It does. Seriously of all the weird things kids to get addicted too, cleaning fluids?

That must've been one weird call from poison control.

[onceaguardian]

Sadly, you're right. I just hope no other organization assumes my kid's dead again.
