Age: Preschool-Kindergarten
Familiar experience: Hiccups

Hiccups claim their next victim and everyone decide they know the best way to get rid of them. Covering all the activities associated with getting rid of hiccups, Elliott still cannot make them disappear until the friend that has been laughing at Elliott all day gets his comeuppance, gasping the hiccups right out of Elliott.

It was fun to see the cultural similarities that exist where hiccups are involved. I also appreciated that Elliott loses his hiccups when he gasps for his friend's safety, not because he laughs at his folly.
