First Asprin

I was probably around 6 or so, and I remember having a terrible headache and couldn't sleep. Pretty sure that I was in tears, and woke up my Dad....So he and I went to the kitchen and I guess we had run out of any liquid cough medicine, so he ground up an aspirin pill with a spoon and mixed it with strawberry jam. (I may have expected something like jolly ranchers or airheads, and wasn't prepared for this...) It tasted horrible. I've always wondered if that was something his mom did for him too, or if it was fatherly improv.... Anyways, it probably worked.
