a spoonful of sugar

is what mrs. weckesser used to give me when i had the hiccups.
i like to pretend it worked.

i have had the hiccups 3 times today.
WHY?
they are so annoying.
there is nothing gratifying about them.
at least with sneezing attacks [had one this morning in the car. slightly terrifying whilst driving around corners] there's a finality to it. aCHOO. aCHOOOOO!! you feel like you're accomplishing something. [?]
but with hiccups. gosh. you just sound stupid. and they're annoying. and you never have any idea when they will go away.
and they are embarrassing. especially when you yawn and a hiccup decides to come right at that moment and so a slightly non-human noise escapes your mouth and your boss is sitting in the other room.
