  • What a bunch of crap. How does putting three dried beans in the dirt bring any relief to a teething child? You are right by questioning telling anyone this "knowledge", because it is absolutely ridiculous. First...we all teeth, natural process. Second, old wives tales are an explanation for misunderstood processes. If anything, put some bourbon on your index finger and rub the gums. This will give some pain relief on the babies part, and make your life a little less stressfull.

  • Chill out, my friend. This is just a little video made in the spirit of friendship and humor. You are taking things a little too seriously. :)

  • LOL, and if that doesn't work, there's always chewing toys and baby orajel. :D Lemmonette! Another video lacking the ever comforting "Love you guys" at the end. :( That's part of your character. I love that part.

  • I am uploading a video right now, I promise you I say it in this one!

  • Hmmm this reminds me of a few other old wives tales... Lemonette how did you become such a phreckin genius??!!!

  • It's a phreckin gift.

  • UH Oh! You weren't supposed to tell a soul what you did with those pinto beans, Lemonette! Did your son suddenly get a toothache when you posted this video? I hope not LOL

  • Hey GiGi!

    I love your stories! They entertain my whole family!

    Keep doing what you do best,

    Love Betty!

  • Interestingly enough...how people used to think and there is a fair correlation. The further you go back in time, the dumber people are. But if you want as solution to teething problems in babies, fortunately as usual, science has a solution. It is a product called "Bonjela". You apply this gel to the babies gums and presto, their pain is gone. Dunno if the USA sells this but I would be surprised if they didn't, at least something equivalent. Consult your pharmacist. :)

  • Well, I've never heard that one. My dad said "rub whiskey on her gums" & granddad said "give'er some laudenum", but that would probably be outlawed now! mc

  • your crazy......thats why i like you

  • Lemonette: I moved to Kentucky a while back and I'm still trying to learn the lingo. I love your videos and love listening to you and watching the world go by in the rear view window of your car.

  • You are very funny and entertaining! keep up your work!!!!!

  • I was chill...I just wanted to make that point. Also, I suggest not ever telling another soul about the "beans method". That kind of remedy would not have been acceptable in the 19th century.
