How to Cure Hiccups

Pin It

OK, before I go into the main part of the post, that being how to cure hiccups, I have to give you a little background.  Sorry honey, I’m bored and I haven’t posted anything cute about Thaddeus lately :tongue

So, my husband is very much afraid of Chickens.  When I say very much afraid, I mean VERY afraid.  We visit his moms and she has to take down all knickknacks of chickens/roosters because he will threaten to break them (he’s kicked the beak off of a big chicken statue ones) because he’s afraid of them.  Long story short, as a child he was “attacked” by a chicken.  Personally, it’s his own fault.  Shouldn’t have been in the chicken’s home :bignono

Anyway, when you have kids and they get the hiccups, you always try to scare them to get rid of the hiccups.  Well, at least that’s how I was always told to do it and it actually work.  So, one day while I was at work (hubby told me the story when I got home), hubby got the hiccups. So what does our 4-year old little monster do?  He starts clucking like a chicken.  At first hubby didn’t get what he was doing.  That is, until Thaddeus said something along the lines of, “Have I scared the hiccups out of you yet daddy?” That is when he realized that Thaddeus was clucking like a chicken…”Bauck, Bauck, Bauck….”

    LOL Too cute.

    We either hold our breath, eat a spoonful of sugar or dink water really fast. I haven’t found the scare tactic actually working well. LOL

    It’s called “alektorophobia” and it’s a verifiable phobia!!!
    And it wasn’t just “a” chicken, rather a whole coup of those evil creatures and their sinister rooster masterminds.
    UGH!!
