Well, that traumatised us both  nicely...

What did...?

[ashes-ascending.livejournal.com]

Almost inducing a hemorrhage in young Ryan.

[star-core.livejournal.com]

How??

[ashes-ascending.livejournal.com]

By curing his hiccups?

[star-core.livejournal.com]

...what did you do?

[ashes-ascending.livejournal.com]

Well I explained what they were, suggested he hold his breath and control his diaphragm.... All perfectly sound advice.

Then we put it into practice.

[star-core.livejournal.com]

Yes...? That's not traumatizing.

[ashes-ascending.livejournal.com]

Not until he turned a rather unhealthy colour after what seemed like ... half a lifetime.

...beg pardon? *stern mommy-glare*

[ashes-ascending.livejournal.com]

AAAH! *Leaps a foot in the air* Nothing. Nothing at all.

How long can a human child last without air?

[multixcolored.livejournal.com]

...you're a worse liar than the kid is. And that's saying something.

*blinks, eyes narrow* A human being can last about three minutes. A child far less. Why?

[ashes-ascending.livejournal.com]

It's never been my forte.

Three - three minutes? That's... but when someone passes out they automatically start breathing again. Yes?

[multixcolored.livejournal.com]

Not exactly a desirable talent, but occasionally necessary.

Yes, usually. Again I ask - what does this have to do with my child?

[ashes-ascending.livejournal.com]

*Squeaks* I don't quite remember mentioning your child in particular.

[multixcolored.livejournal.com]

...it's ALWAYS my child.

[ashes-ascending.livejournal.com]

He had a case of the hiccups. *Edging away slightly* I was helping.

[graftedscion.livejournal.com]

You must be careful with him.

[ashes-ascending.livejournal.com]

I realise that now. Isn't hindsight a marvellous thing?

[graftedscion.livejournal.com]

You know better now, correct?

[ashes-ascending.livejournal.com]

More correct than a .. *Flounders for an analogy, failing somewhat*

Absolutely.

[graftedscion.livejournal.com]

Did the hiccups go away?

[ashes-ascending.livejournal.com]

No.

[graftedscion.livejournal.com]

Tell him to be patient next time. He will tire of it eventually.

*Shakes his head with a grin*

I can see I'll need to keep a closer eye on you.

[ashes-ascending.livejournal.com]

That's really very kind, but please don't trouble yourself.
