Today, the nine year old girl I was babysitting got the hiccups, so I told her to drink some water upside down to cure them. She ended up vomiting on the floor. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was babysitting a 9-year-old kid, when she got thirsty and asked for a drink. All I could find was some kind of Mexican fruit drink, but I didn't realize until too late that it was actually hard liquor. I had to scrub her mouth out with toothpaste and put her to bed to cover it all up. FML
Today, my five-year-old daughter told me she was going to throw up. I told her to rush to the bathroom. I followed her a few seconds later, only to find her sitting on the toilet and vomiting onto the floor. FML
Today, I was babysitting my baby cousin. I was lying on my back playing with her, while holding her up in the air. As I was doing that, I made cooing noises and funny faces to get her to laugh. She laughed and threw up in my mouth. FML
Today, after I finished giving my baby a bottle then burping her, I lifted her up and was bringing her in for kisses. As I was doing this, I felt this warm liquid hit my lips and slide into my mouth. I instantly pulled her back and she'd vomited. It took everything out of me not to vomit myself. FML
Today, after hours of trying to put a screaming baby to sleep, she finally fell asleep in my arms. I was so happy. Then, I got the hiccups. FML
Today, I came down with food poisoning of some sort. After hours of scrambling to the toilet to vomit and empty my bowels, my three-year-old daughter got fed up and is now trying to potty-train me. FML
Today, my daughter was feeling sick. She threw up on the floor. As I was cleaning up her vomit, she threw up on my head. Twice. FML
Today, I spun a two year old upside down, in circles. She wasn't remotely dizzy. I threw up on myself. FML
Today, my 9 year old shitblossom of a sister decided to wake me up by hocking a loogie into my mouth. FML
Today, my hiccups got so intense that I threw up in the middle of class. FML

I have never heard of that trick. Looks like it doesn't work.

My doctor always told us to eat a teaspoon or a packet of sugar. More often than not, it cured or hiccups.

My science teacher taught me a trick to cure hiccups that's very effective. Just plug your nose and drink as much water as you can. I use it whenever I have the hiccups and it works every time.

She should have plugged her ears and sang a note.

Dear god, upside down.....??? Just eat a spoon of peanut butter, does the trick just fine and saves you all that clean up.

The spoonful of sugar works for me...and also a something hot (soup or tea) works as well...

What a horrible method. Just drink water for 13 gulps. Works every time.

My mom always said you had to scare someone to cure their hiccups.. So when I got the hiccups as a kid she would hide and jump out and scare me. Not sure if it worked, but I think I did pee my pants once from it.
