Sweet tea and Dickel look the same also.

It may have looked like kool-aid but I bet any amount of money that the container it was in didn't say kool-aid. I bet it said something like windshield wiper fluid. Kind of hard to mix the labeling up.

Did an inability to read have anything to do with it?

The number of daycare centers having problems with incompetence seems to be growing. Is this because everyone is in such a hurry, they forget to read labels, follow instructions, or do they just ignore proper conduct.
Makes you wonder doesnt it.

they should start off by drug testing all employees. I wouldnt want a dope head or forgetful pot smoker trying to remember where my kid is. Should be mandatory drug screening first off.

Unfortunately, the people who watch our children are very poorly paid to do so and we all know "you gets what you pays for"
I know there are parents who will pay $400 per month for a car payment but would have a screaming fit if they had to pay that amount of money for daycare for their children.
So, there you go.......
I hope the sickest little girl comes out of this with no lasting harm.

I could see this happening. Look up windshield wiper fluid on google images and see what they look like. Xtreme Blue and Splash look like drinks at a quick glance.
