I HATE GETTING SICK!!!! I can't sleep properly due to my body temperature being off,(it's either too hot and I sweat or too cold and I shiver!)I begin coughing too much, too long! My throat gets sore and my body aches! YUCK!!!
However, it's funny that every time this happens to me...I think of my Mother. She had the ability to recognize any cold symptom before they would ever get to my brother and me. And she would ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, give us this homemade remedy she would create called "GOOSE GREASE"! It was a mixture of whiskey, honey, Vick's vapor rub (I think), and maybe "cooking grease" (EWWW!) She would keep it in an old GIN BOTTLE (I swear!) and place it on the highest shelf in the apartment (we lived in the Projects. Yeah Baby!) As though it was this mysterious, magic, brew, that only she knew about! She would grab it, shake it up,find the biggest spoon in the place, and make us take it!
It would make you shiver as it slowly eased down your throat...like a snake!
But IT WORKED! The next morning you would feel great! So, then, she would keep us home from school , dress us in our flannel "Davey Crockett Pajamas", and we would sit on the couch and watch "OLD MOVIES " with her. That was nice! That's maybe why I love movies (especially the OLD ONES), like I do today.
So, what about you? What happens at your home when you get sick? What do you do to feel better?
Please answer in complete sentences and don't forget spell check!
i feel better because my mom puts like salt on a orange and put medicine in it and a cup of honey to drink but she has not done that in a little minute though
