Une grenouille au pays des ours blancs

I remember when I was six and was given the WORST MEDICINE IN THE WORLD for being sick--don't remember what it was or what was wrong with me. I thought if I diluted it that might help-- so I stirred the spoonful of medicine into the glass of water.... my granny tried to make me drink the whole glassful. It was impossible. One of my worst memories ever! I sneaked into the kitchen with it and poured it into her African violets, a dribble at a time, and they smelled horrible (to me) for days.
