"When I was a little girl...my mami had really good remedies for our aches and pains."

"Are you sure this will work, Tia Carmen? I mean, my tooth feels better...but I don't want to look...you know...like an idiot."

"Baldo, why do you think Tia Carmen's been drinking?"

"A kiss will make your boo-boo feel better...but my remedio of cayenne pepper and sugar will cure it!"

"She attended the Tia Carmen medical school."

"I couldn't remember if I'm supposed to feed a cold, or starve a cold, so I decided to drown it."

'I have two colds. I'm taking aspirin for one, and hot tea with whisky for the other.'

'Put the heating pad on it.'

'Strangle your own hernias'

Someone left a yoga student on Mrs. Clearwhistle's front stoop. The student was tangled up and couldn't get undone from himself. She recognized him; it was Earl Slabodne. He lives up on the north edge of town. Mrs. Clearwhistle poured some olive oil on Earle, and he slipped right out; she called Mrs. Slabodne, who said to send him home. Mrs. Clearwhistle did, and she didn't charge for the olive oil.
