Brilliant.
Cat's urine - Your cat is into golden showers, or little Timmy has been snacking at the litter box.
Cock - your child is gay.
Brendan, you missed the best one:
Garlic - arsenic, phosphorus, organic phosphate insecticides, or thallium poisoning
Apparently, one should think of arsenic or thallium poisining when your kid has garlic breath, but not about that shrimp scampi they had for dinner!
Bitter almonds - cyanide poisoning? It's the parents' home autopsy guide!
