Only if They Can't Read

We just bought some gummy vitamins and my kids love them. Emily has been asking for them all the time and to avoid any danger of overdose I put them on a high shelf and told her not to touch them, "OR ELSE".
Tonight I got them down and was immediately preoccupied with something else. Emily asked if she could open them and hand them out. I said no. I wasn't too worried because they have a childproof lid. She can't even manage her apple juice straw at times. Next thing I know she shouts that she opened it. I asked how she did that and she said, "It says right here, 'push down and turn'."
I guess childproof lids don't work if the child can read and the instructions are right on the lid!
