2 Children Given Tummy Ache by Bad Tikoy? Happy Chinese New Year.

My 3 kids visited their cousins a few blocks away for the Sunday afternoon. Dinner time 2 children had tummy aches. Must have been something they ate at the cousins. Asked them. The eldest boy said they all had Chinese tikoy, you know, that Chinese New Year thing… said they had a couple of squares, they all agreed their cousins’ tikoy tasted bad. They tasted some tikoy at home lunch time and that tasted good. So that must be the culprit, the prime suspect in this tummy ache escapade.

More about why the tikoy must have been the culprit. The cousins’ parents aren’t there. Only the nannies. Bad quality control. Bad food. Taste was terrible? Did the nannies cut and cooked the plastic layer along with the tikoy? It does happen. Did they use a bad egg? Did they use bad cooking oil?

There is always a danger when we let our kids socialize. This is just one of those days. My daughter didn’t get to eat dinner, only had a drink and I gave her a slice of pineapple to hopefully dissolve whatever is in there. My 2nd boy had a worse time, he did get to have dinner and I first gave him his probiotic dose then later a slice of pineapple to help digest stuff too.

They’re asleep now. I hope they wake up fine.
