Home remedy of another week:
(From my Abuela's wisdom)
TUMMY ACHE
I know this never happens to you—that you stuff yourself with food until
your stomach aches. But in the odd case this might occur, here is what your
parents can do for you. It is called in Spanish “tronar el empacho”(Ay!):
While you lie face down,
your papa or your mama
should spread your back
with lard and
salt.
Next, they have to pull
with all their might the
skin around your spine—
until it
pops loud.
You better don’t eat too much next time.
