Hiccups

I have had hiccups on and off today, and I have decided that it is incredibly annoying to have hiccups and a cold at the same time! I really don't like having hiccups. It means I can't talk properly, I get teased by my brothers and sister, and there is no cure. It just goes on and on and on. I had hiccups last night as well, and I thought they were gone, but it seems they came back this morning.

The longest attack of hiccups in the world was 68 years! Charles Osborne, an American, had hiccups from 1922 to 1990. In India, they believe you get hiccups when someone close to you is thinking about you. That would be weird if it were true. Imagine people in love. Whenever one thought about the other, they would get hiccups! Really awkward!
