God bless superstitious mexican grandmothers.
My grandmother is hilarious. Maybe just a tad superstitious. She's staying with my parents this week because she is going to see a doctor up here. Mom was making comments about the wheather cooling down and then made a comment about me having asthma.
I've heard this all my life. A Doctor told her when I was younger that I had a touch of asthma but it has been something I've chosen never to acknowledge. Having never acknowledged it, I never let it hold me back from anything physical...especially in the area of running. And I've done alot of breathing in all the running I've done.
I digress, what made me laugh about my grandmother though, she gave me some advice to help with my "Asthma".
She told me I needed to buy a small dog, like a chihuahua or something comparable. She said that when I'm at home, watching TV or something, I need to hold the dog in my arms close to my chest. If I spend enough time with the dog like that, the asthma will leave my chest and go into the dog, and the dog will die.
I laughed at first, but I could see she had a serious look on her face, like "What's so funny?"
I said I wouldn't want to do that to a poor little dog, It doesn't bother me at all.
