Let the dog in!

Hiccups. You’d probably live a happy life if you never got hiccups again. Me, too.

Do scientists even know why we get them? Don’t they go in the “yawning” category in terms of bodily purpose and scientific debate?

Yet, we at the Let the Dog in! household desperately need a hiccup-inducing machine.

Can you hook us up? Ebay sellers? Etsy, perhaps?

Why would we want such a thing? To create a new, gentler torture device to make a million dollars with? No.

We are lovers, not fighters. And we do love peace and quiet.

Which is why we want a hiccup-inducing box (HIB, for short?).

Here’s the upshot:

While driving recently with the Kid, she informed me from the backseat (I get loads of info from the backseat), saying–

“Mommy, I (hiccup) hate (hiccup) hiccups!”

“Why is that, dear?”

“Because (hiccup) it (hiccup) interrupts my talking (hiccup).”

A HIB could stop the Kid from talking? The Kid who goes to sleep speaking, wakes up speaking, eats while speaking and dances while speaking?

Surely, some inventive parent is already working on the schematics. Desperate parents might pay a pretty hefty retail price….
