Hiccups creep up on us at the worst times. Not only are they annoying, it seems as if they last forever. I’ve gotten them before going on-air. Over the years I’ve tried different remedies from holding my breath for 30 seconds to guzzling carbonated beverage to get rid of the pesky air pockets. Finally, I found a remedy that does work: Drink a glass of water from the opposite side of the cup in a downward motion as opposed to upwards or as I say “drink a cup of water upside down.”
At a recent Australian baseball game, 7-year-old Ethan didn’t let the hiccups stop him from performing the national anthem! The teams tried to keep a straight face, but Ethan finished his song to applause and even got some high-fiver from players as he walked off of the field.
