I'm sick right now. Sinus infection, ear infection, coughing like it's my job.. you know. Actual conversation between Hubby and I:
Hubby: You should put some Vick's on your chest.
Me: I'd love nothing more than to take a bath in Vick's.. if it'd help the cough.
Hubby: You should put a sock around your neck.
Me: Okay.
Hubby: Do you have a sock big enough?
Me: Wait.. why do I want to put a sock around my neck?
Hubby: Why'd you agree to it?
Me: I don't know, I thought it was like when someone says their finger hurts and someone suggests to cut it off. I thought you were thinking like.. choke me or something.
Hubby: No.. my mom always put a sock around my neck after she put Vick's on. I thought it was what people do. Call my mom. She'll tell you.
Wow. Come to find out, his mom didn't know why she did it.. she just said her mom did it. She thought it was maybe to keep the Vick's from getting in your hair or your bed. Of course, hubby didn't have a mullet or anything when he was growing up.. so I'm not sure how it would have gotten in his hair. Weird.

My grandfather used to make us EAT Vick's Vapor Rub..seriously by the spoonful...I don't know why but I can't imagine that is healthy for you in anyway. Yuor hubby got off lucky! :)
