An Amazing Cure-all (Raquel)
July 25, 2005 by Raquel
I remember when I was younger one of the cures for a general bad attitude was having our nuisances shaken out. Something about being turned upside down replaced the “nuisances” with a case of the giggles.
When one of the children started whining I got an idea. I turned her upside down, and she had an amazing recovery. My theory is that the voice box gets stuck and turning it upside down returns it to it’s proper place. Then again, maybe it’s just really hard to whine during a case of the giggles.
This, of course, is where Theresa got it from. :0)
We’ve long since found that it works 99% of the time. For some reason it doesn’t work if they have a broken leg or a dislocated knee. ::shrugs::
I tried this today on a cranky toddler and IT WORKED!

Thank you, Raquel, you are a miracle worker!
You’re welcome. It’s nice to know this blog is useful in some way, at least.
