You know that awful, tickling sensation that floods you just before a sneeze? Well, I hated that as a kid and would frequently whine about it during our morning drives to school thanks to the sun (did you know that sneezing because of bright light is called the Photic Sun Reflex?).

Daddy was adamant that rapidly repeating “grapefruit, grapefruit, grapefruit” would keep me from sneezing. If you ever hear me mumbling “grapefruit,” now you know why!
