At my OB's office today.
Older Woman {OW}: Uwww! Look at that baby's tongue.
Me: I know we have been battling this thrush for 3 weeks. That's why I am here today.
OW: I have 8 kids, you know what you need to do?
Me: WOW 8! No what do you suggest?
OW: You got to get you some Boric Acid . . .
Me: Boric Acid?! That's a new one.
Lettie: Isn't that what Mommy used to get rid of the ants?
OW: {Ignoring Lettie} Yeah, so you take one tablespoon of the Boric Acid and mix it in some water. You got to sterilize the water now.
Me: Okay, one tablespoon, boil water... okay.
OW: So you mix them make a paste and put it on that baby's tongue. It will take that thrush right out. You know what they say also works? Having a drunk person breath in the baby's face.
Me: {Blank stare}
