Eeep...
My mother experimented on me with a lot of things but she never was that... um.... stupid? I, on the other hand, am going to be the world's most experienced first time mother.
It's her upbringing. She really believes in home remedies.
Sometimes to the point of ignoring common sense, I'll admit.
She means well, but I've already told her that I'll handle my kids infirmities, thank you very much. *grin*
