How superstitions are born

My son has a cold. It's not too bad during the day, but at night he has been waking up coughing. The coughing is caused (delightfully) by gunk building up at the back of his throat. He's got an extra pillow to prop him up a bit, but sometimes it's not enough.

To clear the unpleasantness is simple - sit up for a bit.

On his wall are some pictures he and his brother drew a while back.  He was coughing, so he sat up and looked at them for a bit. The coughing stopped. The cure was obviously...looking at the pictures.

He's going to be a homepath isn't he?

Thanks for your comments. I would really rather not have anonymous comments, please give a name even if it is made up.

Please try to keep it reasonably polite, it's mainly a blog for grown ups but good manners are always welcome.

Thanks again
