CHILD RESITANT CAPS

No doubt child resistant caps on medicine bottles and other dangerous substances have saved the lives of thousands, perhaps millions, of children. And their parents have been spared the pain, anguish, and suffering of losing a child who has swallowed deadly chemicals. And I wouldn’t wish it any other way, but old fingers like young fingers have just as much difficulty opening protected jars, bottles, etc. And I have been stymied more often than I care to remember with bottles I have trouble opening.

This morning as I tried to open a new bottle of mouthwash, I struggled in frustration at not being able to release the cover from the bottle. But I live alone and with no one else to help me I had no choice but to curse, scream, and persevere until I finally succeeded. And only heaven knows how I finally got it open. It would help if manufactures would create easy to open bottles for us senior citizens. But I’m sure they won’t. And I will have to continue fighting with bottle caps forever knowing it will only get worse not better.
