proof!

Ever since I was a kid, my cure for the hiccups has been to drink water through a paper towel. My sister and I were taught this by some old friends of ours. It has always worked for me, and for most people who try it. Still, I've gotten a fair share of crazy looks and "whatever Katie, that's ridiculous" comments from those in disbelief. Well, I'm happy to say that this morning I stumbled upon proof for my cure. I was doing some aimless "I'm bored at work, and still not really awake" perusing of the internet, and came upon this article. Check out the section under hiccups, and see that it states "drinking through a washcloth" is a remedy. Honestly, I was a bit surprised to find it in print. I figured it was just some wierd deal that the people who taught us had figured out on their own. Guess not!

So, if you've ever given me that look when I tell you to drink through a paper towel, here's proof! I told you!
