The Onion...

So Friday, Aftyn and I both had the flu. She woke up at 3 am sick and I woke up at 5 after taking care of her with it. My mother in law calls Friday night and I'm still feeling ICKY!! She said she just got a paper from one of her nurse friends saying that in the olden days, people used to place onions around the house in bowls and that was suppose to take the "Flu germs" away from the people that had the flu. I'm feeling so bad that I have Shane run to Dahl's to get my an onion. He brings it to our room and sits it on our bedside table. A little while later, Chloe comes in my room to ask me something and then she said, "Mom! You smell bad!!" I say, "Like what?" ( I had just taken a relaxing bath so I couldn't possibly smell bad) She said, "Like rotten Subway." (as in the sandwich restaurant) I start laughing and told her it was the onion on my night stand and that Grandma Linda told me about it. She busted out laughing and it obviously didn't work because it's now Sunday and although I haven't vomited since Friday, I still don't feel too hot. You can go to snopes. com and find out all about the onion story...but what did I have to lose?? Nothing...Enough for now and have a good night...-AS
