it’s my windex
Have you seen the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding? If you haven’t, you need to rent it. If you have seen it, you probably remember one of the themes running through the movie was the main character’s father, who thought that Windex was a cure-all. Burned your arm while cooking? Spray some Windex on it. Got poison ivy while hiking in the woods? Spray some Windex on it. Got blisters while traipsing through the poison ivy in the woods? Spray some Windex on it. My family and I thought it was really funny ~ we still make jokes referring to it.
It relates to my life in this way: at some point I must have decided that water will cure most, if not all, of your day-to-day ills. Son#1 pointed it out to me just the other day. I had no idea I was doing it, but apparently whenever anyone has a headache, I tell them to drink more water (dehydration causes headaches!). When one of the boys has a virus, I tell him to be sure to drink a lot of water. All throughout the summer, while it’s blisteringly hot outside, I frequently remind my family that they need to drink a lot of water. Got a burn? Hold it in a bowl of cool water until it doesn’t hurt anymore. Got kidney stones? Drink more water and flush them out. Got gall stones? See advise for kidney stones.
When did I start doing this? Not that it’s not good advice to drink water ~ it is. A lot of our skin problems, headaches, and other illnesses come from not drinking enough water. Out bodies need lots of water in order to function properly. Water is good.
I just can’t figure out when water became my Windex!
