I remember being about five years old and having some sort of stomach flu. I was sitting on the couch, probably listening to a Psalty record and I knew I was about to hurl. (Not because of Psalty the singing Psalm book. I don't think, anyway.)

My mother was on the front porch talking to a neighbor. I walked over to the glass door and tapped on it. She looked over at me, and as if on cue, I puked. Straight at the door. She and the neighbor flinched, in that involuntary way you do even when you know there's glass there. She asked me, why on earth would I come to the front door to puke. It was hard to answer her through my giggling. To this day, it's still funny to me.

I'm at work when I choke on somethint, I think an aspiring? I try to do the universal sign for "HELP ME I'm CHOKING" but for some reason they think I'm kidding? They laugh and say, "oh norma, you're so funny." I give myself the heimlich with my desk. And I throw up the aspirin and the remaining stomcah contents onto my desk. They feel bad for not believing me and clean up my mess.
