Baby-Proofing Medicine Bottles and Getting Old

  • Baby-Proofing Medicine Bottles and Getting Old

  • A humorous realization about aging and medicine packaging.
  • The Medicine Bottle

    • In November 2024, I spent about a full minute trying to line up the arrows on a child-resistant prescription medicine bottle to open it.
    • After struggling to find the arrows, it dawned on me that I specifically request all my prescription drugs to be filled without baby-proofing caps.
    • The incident served as a funny reminder of getting older and having a brief lapse in memory.
