Touche

Not long ago, I made the mistake of prescribing hard candy as a hiccup cure. Charlie had hiccups and I gave him a hard candy to suck on, and it actually worked. But, alas, my children are geniuses of unspeakable evil. By the next day, they were tugging on my skirt, "Mo-om! I have the hiccups! Can I have a piece of candy?"My response quickly became, "Prove it."

So a couple of days ago, Abraham comes to me.
Abe: Mommy, I have hiccups! I need piece of candy to feel me better!
Me: No you don't.
Abe: Yes it is! I have a hiccup! It's in my nose!

I have no response for that.
