A few minutes ago Max came pounding at the bedroom door (for the 75th time!). “Stop pounding on the door! I just need to finish getting dressed”. A shower and clothing were all I wanted. But, that’s another story........He actually had news this time. “Tristan’s tooth came out!” My instant response was, “tell him to get a drink of water”. I’ve found that this is the solution to all that ails you. Just ask my kids.
Kids-“mom, I have a headache”
Me-”get a drink of water, you’re probably dehydrated”
Kids-”MOOOOMMMMM, I’m bleeding!”
Me-”Quick! Get some water! Sit still and take a drink”
Kids-”My stomach hurts”
Me-”Ok, lay down and I’ll get you a drink of water”
Kids-”I feel really nervous about........”
Me-”That’s ok, I’ll get you a drink and you can relax”
It’s true! Just ask the poor little boy that was here for Tristan’s bday party. He leaned backward in hysterical laughter and busted his, poor, head on the piano. It required 5 staples that night! My panicked first response? “Ok, quick! Get him some water!”
And just where does this wonderful wisdom spring from (ha ha! A little water funny)? I think it’s a combination of being the oldest of 9 kids that used water as a solution to most problems. After all, our bodies are made up of x% of water and when it’s low it can cause a host of problems... And I’m married to a man who was a corpsman with the Marines for a few years. I’m pretty sure that water is the #1 treatment for the troops. So, if you’re feeling poorly, it’s probably a little dehydration. Try a nice, big glass of water and get back to me in 1/2 an hour.
Have a great day~
