What is it about home remedies that every mother insists upon when a child becomes ill in some way? I was having trouble breathing yesterday evening and I informed my mother of this and she told me what to do. Take this foul smelling food and mash it up into a paste, and then proceed to place that paste around your throat.

Something about things that look, taste, & smell disgusting that mothers feel the need to apply to their children when they are under the weather. I refused treatment and suffered until I passed out. There are some things I refuse to put on my face.
