Action Man overdose
This could almost have featured in last weeks Darwin Awards QOTW...

When I was 7 years old or thereabouts, I stayed over at my friends house. He was a good little boy whereas I was a mischievous little bastard. His parents both worked at the nearby hospital, his mother was a sister and his dad a nurse.

We were in his bedroom playing and I happened to look in the built in wardrobe/large cupboard and noticed that there were loads of small boxes on the top shelf. I asked him what they were but he didn't know so I somehow knocked one of the boxes down and looked inside. Cool, a box full of syringes containing a liquid.

So we played doctor and doctor. We used an Action Man as our patient, stabbed its head with a syringe and filled it with the contents.

At that moment, my friend's dad walked in and went ballistic. He spanked our bottoms. He blamed me and told my mother the next day that he didn't want me to play with his son as I was a bad influence.

Bad influence?

What kind of parent keeps the drugs that they've nicked from the hospital where they work in their child's bedroom?

Love to know what was in those syringes.

So glad that we didn't try injecting each other or there may well have been a "I killed my best friend" entry on last weeks QOTW.

Innocent explanation
Insulin, maybe?

Maybe.
There were an awful lot of boxes.
