Don't Sniff the Yucky Water! - By Jerome Skinly
Hi! I'm Jerome and I learned something super important today. My big brother, he… well, he does stuff. Grown-up stuff. And he has this…water jug. It’s not for drinking! He uses it with a… a smokey thing.
My mom saw him and she got really mad. Not at the smokey thing (she doesn't like that either!), but she yelled about the water. She said you should never, EVER sniff the water, or even the steamy stuff that comes off it.
She said it’s FULL of yucky germs and stuff that makes you super sick. Like, REALLY sick. She said it's not like bath water, even though it looks kinda like it. Bath water is just soapy. This water… has other stuff in it. Bad stuff.
She said you could get a cough, or a fever, or even get really sick inside your body. She didn't say exactly what would happen, but it sounded scary.
So, if you ever see water in a jug with a smokey thing, DO NOT sniff it! Don't even look at the steamy stuff! Just tell a grown-up, okay? It's way better to be safe than to get super sick. My mom said so, and moms always know best!
