Easy Child gets what I called "the barky cough" a couple of times a year.  He has a nebulizer and I have Albuterol and Pulmacort for the times when he needs it.


This morning I got up to take my shower and I found, floating in the toilet bowl, two empty vials of Albuterol.  I questioned Difficult Child, but, of course, his reply was, "I didn't do it!  Why do you always think it's me?"  Why do I always think it's him when something happens?  Is he really asking me that question?  But I digress.


I did question Easy Child about it, and he also denied taking them.  I moved them for now, but I think I have to find a different place to keep them.


Difficult Child is almost 16.  I know high school kids experiment with things that we parents would rather they didn't, but is this something I should be REALLY concerned about?  Is this just normal experimentation, or a staring point to something bigger?
