It Really Works

My kids got me sick. At 3 am I awoke with a terrible sore throat. So far I'd been spared, but no longer. The cold (which had included fevers and pink eye) that affected each one of my kids on a rotating basis finally caught up with me. Despite the constant reminding (more like hounding), "wash your hands, cough in your elbow" and wiping everything down with disinfecting wipes, I still got it. So at 3 am I was desperate. I passed on the throat lozengers and went straight for the salt water. I've tried gargling with salt water before without success. I think it had to do with the salt content in the water. The more salt the better right? The problem with this logic is I'd end up GAGGING instead of gargling. For some reason I used less salt this time and with less salt I made it past the gagging and actually GARGLED. It worked!! My pain went away.

When the kids got up this morning I accused them of getting me sick. They replied, "We didn't get you sick because we're STILL sick."

Oh the logic. . .so if any of you out there get sick it's not my fault because I'm still sick too!
