Pineapple Sneezes

Dex announced to me yesterday, "If you have to sneeze, just say pineapple and you won't have to sneeze anymore." When I questioned where he heard this, he told me his teachers told him. When I asked him if it worked, he said he kept forgetting to try it.  Yesterday, Dex had plenty of sneezes so (luckily?) he had plenty of opportunities to try it.  Sometimes it worked - I heard him say "pineapple" and it wasn't followed by a sneeze. Sometimes the sneeze came out as he said pineapple. I think we now have new measure of how sick Dexy is - the number of "pineapples" he utters per day!
