This is an actual conversation I over-heard while at lunch today. A young woman was talking with an older woman, apparently her mother. "I haven't slept in three days," she complained. "The baby is teething and he's up all night crying."

"Why don't you just rub a thimble-full of brandy on his gums. That will numb them up and put him right to sleep." answered mom.

"I can't give the baby alcohol! Lord knows what that will do to him."

"Well, it never hurt you any." The look on her face was priceless.
