CTTS: Guess what I'm thinking of?
Little boy was playing a guessing game with me the other day: Guess what
I'm thinking of? "It's bright, and yellow, and in the sky in the daytime, and makes you sneeze." It's the sun. I just thought it was cute that he added "and makes you sneeze." Little boy is a sun-sneezer. That's not a characteristic I think most people would use when describing the sun. More about sun-sneezing: http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives...0242.Me.r.html Best, Ann -- Where we are weak, harshness and fear will not make us strong; where we are strong, gentleness and forebearance will not make us weak. -- Jamie |

... Sneezing in bright lights is an inherited trait, and fairly common in my family. I'm not one who got it, thank goodness! Neither DH nor I are sun-sneezers, but maybe it's recessive. It's not so pronounced in Little Boy as he's aged. It happened every single time we took him outside in the daytime when he was little. Now it's somewhat less frequent. Best, Ann |

I had it explained to me once, but can't remember the explanation. Grandpa was like that, and one of my uncles, and my baby brother; Mom used to think it was funny to take him outside and watch him sneeze, and when Dad insisted she was imagining it, she looked it up so she could explain the medical reasons for it. -- Children won't care how much you know until they know how much you care |
