An Accident At Home!

This morning around elevenish, my helper called my mobile and anxiously told me that Amanda had accidentally sprayed Dettol into her lunch and ate it...  and Amanda even vomitted!!!  It so happened that there were 4 ants on the table and she decided to spray Dettol on the ants, without realising that her food was beside...  My helper happened to be upstairs clearing my room when she came down and realised the can of Dettol on the table...
the dettol antiseptic spray that amanda used to spray on the ants; without realising most of it went into her bowl of noodles....  sigh....

OMG!!!  I panicked when I heard that...  Then Amanda cried so pitifully....  "Mummy, I am going to die.....  I am dying soon...  Will I die???  Am I going to die??"....  I was almost in tears when I heard it and my heart ached so much...  I so much wanted to get out of my meeting and rush home to be with my baby!!!

I tried pacifying her that she would be alright, but I told Amanda not to go to school... However, she was very brave and such a good girl, and she insisted on going...  So I told my helper to make her a slice of buttered bread and a cup of warm water before her school bus came....  I also told her to call me from school the moment she feels any discomfort or pain....

I panicked once again during her recess time, when I saw her mobile number flashing on my mobile, and answered with shaky voice...  To my relief, she sounded so happy and called to inform me that she was feeling alright....  Phew!!!...  what a relief!

When she got home in the evening, she immediately called my mobile and she shouted "Mummy, I didn't die!!  I am still alive!!!"....  and my maid also told me later, that the moment she came out of the school bus, she ran to my maid and said, "Kakak, I didn't die, I didn't die!!!" 

I couldn't help but laugh when I heard that...  So she was afraid throughout her hours in school...  poor babe...  no wonder she called me every few hours.....

What a close shave!...  Thank goodness nothing happened to her.........  My babe has certainly learnt her lesson to be more careful when she does anything.....
