Here, try this...


So, I took my daughter to the Dr. to get some medicine and they gave her a "time-release" capsule. We were given strict instructions, DO NOT:
Crush
Break
Open
Dissolve
Cut
Make-smaller-by-ANY-means

But, little 8-year-old-girl,
take one of these every morning before you eat your breakfast...

Spending 40 minutes trying to calmly get my daughter to swallow a not-so-small pill before she gets to eat breakfast is NOT how I was intending to spend my morning. We've tried everything...
hide it in yogurt

put in on the back of the tongue and swallow really fast

put it in a straw and slurp really fast

hide it in yogurt again

put it in the bottom of your glass and "drink it"

any ideas?

maybe we should get one of these:
