Gripe Water

It is 1 am and I am awake because there was a false fire alarm at our bed and breakfast. The Fire brigade came, as they call it. Can't go right back to bed, so I am taking the time to stay connected on facebook, etc.

Wanted to tell you about the funniest thing I saw on the pharmacy shelf, in the baby section. It is called "Gripe Water". The box said, "For relief of wind and gripe." Anyone who has had a colicky baby knows about Mylicon drops. That is basically what gripe water is! I just thought that was the funniest way to describe it.

Hmmm... Wind and gripe? Anyone need me to send some for their husband?

  2. Dina, I'm enjoying all of the funny names of things there. I bet the kids get a laugh too. I think Gripe Water would be a nice Christmas gift for a few people I know. :-) Hugs and Kisses, Mom
