More On Sneezing Ate Leony

Tweet

Well , another day in the life of my dear sneezing Ate Leony. It was another hot summer day so her bouts of sneezing came into active mode, again. I told her for the umpteenth time to try taking medications for her allergies but she said she found a natural way to stop this sneezing. Her solution? Vinegar! She told me a daub of vinegar on the tip of her nose will help stop the attack. She tried this at home and it seemed to work. I asked a helper to go to the pantry and get a vinegar for Ate Leony. The helper returned moments later with a cotton wet with vinegar and Ate Leony quickly wiped it on her nose. The sneezing stopped BUT we noticed the swelling and reddening of her nose and I asked her, "what happened?" The culprit was the helper. He wet the cotton from a vinegar full of red chilis soaked in it! Well, there was a slight discomfort on the part of Ate Leony and the sneezing ceased, but what was worse was everyone who sees her stop, look, giggle, and start calling her "Rudolph".
