when I was in kindergarten the teacher was talking about how if you had medicine when you shouldn't it will make you sick. She then said that you should never eat any candy unless your parents give it o you because a lot of medicines look like candy. I wasn't nervous because I could read so I could just read the box to see what it was. She then said that even those of us who can read shouldn't becasue our parents might have dropped medicine into a box of candy. I only believed this for a little bit but what was even worse was that my teacher said this.
