This week's selection is from the delightful Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows:


"I always get the hiccups when I cry, so she ran and got me a glass of water for her fail-safe cure-- you pinch your nose shut with your two thumbs, and plug up both ears with your fingers, while a friend pours a glass of water down your throat without let. You stomp your foot when you are close to drowning, and your friend takes the glass away. It works every time--a miracle--no more hiccups."
