The Evil-Eye Egg

So Jason has had a killer MF headache since Friday, and by yesterday night I got so desperate that I recurred to the ultimate Mexican grandma remedy: the egg technique to cure the evil eye!
[Quick Mexican explanation: you pass an egg through the victim's body while you say a prayer, then you crack the egg in a glass with water and leave it all night next to the victim's bed. In the morning the shape of the floating egg will determine if the victim had the evil eye or not. See full explanation here. Even the Jews know it jijiij]

My grandma always says that people give you the evil eye even when they don't mean it (?) and since I thought Jason's head was about to explode, I gave it a try. What I didn't remember was that I either had to be a totally good Catholic Mexican granny, or a totally good Catholic Mexican girl because you have to say a prayer while you shoo evil things away... I tested negative for both.

So I went online, look for THE prayer anyway because The Boyfriend was in pain and American doctors scare me; and there I was all female shaman on his ass doing the egg thing.
He was even nice enough to tell me he believed me.
What a kitten.

In the morning, his headache was (of course) still there so we ended up going to the doctor, but we looked at the egg anyway just in case the devil was floating there...
Jason: My eggy is all weird...
Jocelyn: I don't think I did it right...
Jason: Yeah you did, I totally felt the demons!

Hahhhaha
I think that was a great compliment. Kiss.

So I turned out to be a good-for-nothing Catholic, but look at the pretty deviled-egg pictures!!
