His incessant hiccups were driving me crazy and he seemed oblivious to this fact, hiccupping away like he didn’t have a care in the world. One of Grannie’s folk remedies came to mind, so I took a key and dropped it down the back of his shirt. The cold metal on flesh made him jump like a startled kangaroo, face first into the door-frame, bursting his nose like a ripe peach. As he lay on the floor, bleeding and groaning, I noticed his hiccups had stopped. I said a silent ‘thank you’ to my dear departed Grannie. Folk wisdom works!

I sure hope Grannie had a remedy to stop bleeding! Thanks for a good laugh, Bill :) 24/9/2021 08:24:55 pm
I laughed out loud. Loved that I got my answer. "Did it at least work?" Haha. This was brilliant. Loved it!

Grannies have so many old-time remedies. This one turned out to be a bit brutal but it usually worked.
