#2: Maybe She Needs a Spoonful of Sugar

Until reading this, I was unaware that some people couldn’t swallow pills. I mean, it’s not that different than swallowing food, is it? Especially if you swallow pills with water, which you are definitely supposed to do, as dry swallowing them can lead to them contacting and damaging your esophagus, which is not ideal.

I wonder what got her—is it that the food she swallows isn’t usually so smooth? Or is it a mental thing, where she knows it’s medicine and most kids don’t like it? Either way, I’m proud of her for reaching this accomplishment eventually. Better late than never, right?
