Look at these habaneros!
One day this summer I was in my garden piddling around as usual, Plucking dead leaves and such.
I all ways pull a pepper, tomato, lettuce leaf, or whatever and nibble on it while I piddle.
On this particular day I happened to pick a hot pepper and popped it into my mouth. I kept on working as I munched.
The pepper was hot, but no more than usual.
Suddenly I got the heek-ups, really bad.
They kept getting faster and faster.
My mouth was really starting to heat up!
Tears began streaming down my face, my nose started to drip, and I could feel the heat from my mouth moving down into my arms and into my chest.
Now, the pepper was much hotter than usual.
I threw down my bucket and ran into the house.
I gulped down a quart of milk, a quart of water- ate a half a loaf of bread- and even tried brushing my teeth, several times, but nothing seemed to work.
For a few minutes I even considered calling 9 1 1!
Wouldn't that be something, to have to call 9 1 1 because of a pepper?
The pepper that I had plucked and eaten came from a little habanero plant that only put out four peppers all season.
Now have a look at some of my suggestions.
Or if you prefer,
