The Unsinkable Titanic C

The city-sized behemoth ship Titanic easily slipped into the ocean bottom. 

Meanwhile, the vitamin C tablet that Dominic has to swallow just won't go in.

He'd drink glass after glass after glass of water, and the capsule would still manage to float to safety and stay in his mouth.  It would melt a little but still manage to hang on. 

Finally, after many many tries, he just decided to bite the capsule, chew the tablet (it tastes like very bitter lemon anyhow), and wash his mouth with water.

So that's how it goes every morning.  Younger Pia easily swallows exactly the same tablet, while Dominic chews his.

Hmmm...looks like it's time to get chewable kids' vitamins.

Actually, we had a similar problem with Sara. She kept complaining about the taste (even though we were already using chewable kids' vitamins). Fortunately, we found a product at Costco that solved the problem: gummy bear kids' vitamins.

With different fruity flavours, in gummy bear form, making Sara take her vitamins is no longer a problem.

You should have something similar in Oz.

Jun, we have since stocked up on chewables. They seem easier to swallow (!)
