The Rap-Up: Putting things in perspective

It’s never too early to put things in perspective.

This past weekend, I made a near-fatal mistake of feeding my daughters — both with anaphylactic allergies to nuts — granola bars with cashews. Anyone who has a food allergy knows to check the ingredients of anything and everything they ingest, full stop. Between my wife, who ordered a new granola bar we’ve never tried, myself, who disinfected the box but failed to read the ingredients, and my eldest daughter, who packed the snacks and is accustomed to checking ingredients (but also forgot), it was a(n) (im)perfect storm of calamity that led to my wife frantically administering epinephrine shots (Epipens) on the side of the road.
