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

It sounds crazy, but it works. Stick a metal fork, spoon, or knife in a water glass and drink it. Cures it right away for a nine year old girl, I'd say use a spoon to avoid any more accidents

atleaat you tried.. just clean up the vomit and move on.

Guess you should have stuck with scaring her to stop the hiccups

Drinking from the opposite side of the glass works better..

...how does one drink from the opposite side of the glass without being upside down?

What a dumb ****.

but did it cure the hiccups?

That's not how drinking water works buddy... Drinking water upside down or even laying down created a choking hazard for us humans because out throats don't have the extra muscle because it's not a necessity for us.

But did it cure the hiccups

But does she have the hiccups?

I've never heard that.
