Methylchloroisothiazolinone : My Life


I was giving my kids a bath tonight and as they played in the bubbles I was reading the ingredients on the label for the bubble bath. Life Brand Fruity Foam Bath, to be exact. Big-ugly-word after big-ugly-word and then the mother of all big-ugly-words… Methylchloroisothiazolinone.

Why are my kids PLAYING IN something that has more letters in it than the entire english alphabet?!

It was like an old school horror movie looking at my kids gleefully playing in a toxic bath MOMMY made. Mommy’s eyes darting from the bottle, to the bath, to their grins, to visions of horrible things.

I think mommy needs to stop by the health food store to get some bubble bath without all these big-bad-words.
