We all get hiccups from time to time. I don't know about you, but it makes me feel like a little kid. I know it bothers others when they have them, too.
What cure do you have for someone who's got the hiccups?
My go-to cure is really strange but it's never failed for either kids or adults. Just be sure the kid is old enough to understand and that you don't frighten him.
I pull our a penny (or nickel or dime due to inflation) and firmly tell the victim,"I'm going to buy your hiccups with this penny. I want five good strong hiccups for my money and I want them now!" I get a blank stare, so I sternly admonish, "Get on with it! I want my hiccups now!" I continue as necessary. They usually can't produce even one hiccup and never the required five. The hiccups are just gone. I don't know how or why it works, but it does.
