An older sister feels it is her duty to keep a younger brother in line. I surrendered that job when while quarreling with my younger brother I pushed him into the closet and held the door closed. At this point, though three years younger he was getting taller than me! He punched his fist through a panel of the closet door, which turned out to be glass that was painted over. A couple of small cuts for him, and a whole lot of trouble for me.
I have heard a story of the baby sitting on the floor crying because of the pain of teething. The family dog went to her bowl, pulled out a dog biscuit and dropped it in front of the baby. The child picked it up and began gumming it contentedly, no more tears. The flavor is not to human taste but they are safe to eat and hard enough to be a good teething cookie!
Spinach, broccoli, asparagus and brussels sprouts were on the “yuckko” list when I was a kid. Now I will happily eat spinach and broccoli raw in salads or lightly stir fried. I can manage to eat asparagus when served with a tasty cheese sauce. In my sixties, I finally got the courage to try brussels sprouts roasted with balsamic vinegar. Surprise! They were actually edible.
I don’t sneeze excessively loudly (in my humble opinion), but if my cat is in the vicinity when I sneeze she utters a funny little meow. I still don’t know if she’s wishing me “gesundheit” or complaining because I sprayed her with my sneeze!
Maybe she just chugs back and forth in the shallow end, doing resistance exercises.
