Onions, chemicals and bleach.

Dear Ludovic,

I’m sorry you don’t like to eat onions any more.  That’s my fault for not explaining things properly.  You are right, onions make you cry.  You know this because you helped Dad make an onion and potato bake and when you chopped the onions it made your eyes water.  Your Dad is quite right, that is because there are chemicals in the onions.

Everything is made of chemicals, even you.  You are a carbon based life form.  The reason you are confused is because I use bleach to clean the toilet and I told you not to touch the bleach bottle because bleach is a chemical and it would burn you and make you sick.  Onions won’t burn you and make you sick.  Onions and bleach are different chemicals.  It is perfectly alright to eat onions (although not in the bathroom, that would be yucky.)

Love

Mum

PS I still don’t want you to touch the bleach bottle…
