George Banks wasn’t absent. He was strict and demanding but absolutely present to terrorize his children. The mother was absent deliberately to show how terrible women’s suffrage was for families.
Mary Poppins was set in about 1910. You likely could get opium based cough syrup as there was little restriction/rules yet. She was giving them opium.
Her little hiccup I think was a joke about the alcohol content of the cough syrup.
The brand “One Night Cough Syrup” had alcohol, chloroform, cannabis, and morphine as their active ingredients. Sure it worked great, being unconscious makes it harder to cough, plus coughing requires breathing, so it works on two fronts.
Wait, so then it was laudanum?
The best way to get the kids to calm down and go to sleep. These days there are so few options.
A spoonful of sugar helps the opium go down,
The opium go down,
The opium go down.
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the opium go down.
In the most delightful way.Such a fucked up thing – the kids weren’t even sick. The ‘medicine’ was just to make them sleep.
I like mc Chris until I found out he was a drump supporter. Ngl some of his tunes are fire.
Edit: I remember hearing/reading this quite some time ago and being very disappointed, but now cannot find anything to support it. My bad folks.
I hadn’t paid attention to him in two decades. That’s both really sad and also not that surprising.
the nerd rapper? I can’t find anything pro trump when I search.
I may be wrong. Read/heard it quite some time ago and whatever it was left me with a strong impression, but I am also finding info to the contrary. It’s gonna bug the hell outta me now.
THANK YOU! I forgot how pimp chris was after Aqua Teen Hunger Force…
Mary was hella into lean.
Hey Dimetap is legitimately delicious.
Absent? He was home by 6!
