Poison in my parents' freezer

Don't know why. The bottle in the freezer looks like water, but it has a big black-marker letter X on it, and it says POISON. I felt like Alice - if one drinks much from a bottle marked "poison" it is almost certain to disagree with one sooner or later. (This is what we call meiosis, a much more pleasant use of the word than that business with the cells.)

I keep that there to slip into the drinks of disrespectful children. (It's tasteless and odorless, too. Luckily.)

It is odorless, tasteless, dissolves instantly in liquid, and is one of the more deadly poisons known to man.
