POLL: again...What do you say when DC sneezes?

zoology2 · January 2009

DS just sneezed about 6 times in a row (I think that's a record, poor baby). Every time I like to say "Bless you" in a different language, but I can only get so far after 4 LOL. But DH pretty much says "Bless you" or "God Bless you". Do you say anything or nothing at all?

Bless you!

IckyThump · January 2009

Bless you

SpartanGirl · January 2009

God bless you

NewlywednOhio · January 2009

"Bless you!" after every sneeze.

7/04Bride · January 2009

I say Bless You! And DS gives me a big smile. Sometimes he beats me to saying it with his big smile! He knows I give him attention when he smiles.

bim38106 · January 2009

I say Bless You! In French or in English And sometimes God Bless You!

I don't know why, but it makes me sad to think someone might say nothing at all I know they may not get it at this point, but it's such a habit.. and just nice

Bless you or God bless you

I totally agree. I think it should be said out of courtesy but never know if it could offend anyone.

SarahBukisi · January 2009

Yay! I can add one more to my vocabulary haha. How do you pronounce it? "Ha fee ah?"

olivia_eve · January 2009

Either bless you or na zrdowie, which is Polish. (Pronounced nah zd-row-vyeh)

too hard for me to pronounce LOL unless I actually heard it. I could try to say it and pretend that I did haha

trixR4kidz · January 2009

I say bless you.

But you could say Gazuntite (gah zoon tight) (gernman/yiddish)

Or Labrioot (lah brie oot) (Hebrew - although it is not Israeli's custom to say something EVERY time somebody sneezes)

You're awesome! Thanks for the link LOL. I've only played it like 10 times and still cant seem to get it down.

wendyj · January 2009

Usually Bless you or Bless you, sir!

Mrs.Saxy · January 2009

what if you don't believe in God? then what do you say? both God and bless are religious.

anyway, I say bless you

JulyFiveBride · January 2009

Either "bless you!" or I fake sneeze and say "bless you!" Fake sneezes/coughs/nose blowing/etc crack DD up, haha.

yeah that's what i said above, i'm never sure to say it to strangers bc i'm not sure if i would offend anybody. But to my DC, it's ok until they can make their own religious decisions (or choose their religion)

kzeksbg · January 2009

I do the same thing, Bless you in German, French and English... My husband just says Bless you...

Califlorida · January 2009

i don't say bless you, because i'm not religious. but a bunch of my co-workers thought that was weird and we spent a whole afternoon looking up alternatives. so now we all say things like "salve!" or "jupiter preserve you!"

SCHannah · January 2009

I always say "bless you". My mom always says "scat cat" to dd. It's kind of weird, but that's what my grandma always said to us too. And dd loves when she says it.

Brit&Nate · January 2009

We always say "Bless your bones!" She loves it and will usually always fake sneeze again just so we'll say it. The current record is 13 fake sneezes in a row.

ketamarie · January 2009

Bless you or God Bless you

Stacyc625 · January 2009

For some reason-- my DD ALWAYS sneezes in threes.

And after i say god bless you (or bless you) after each one-

after the third one i say, 'must be the truth' My mom always taught us that if you sneezed 3x it must have been the truth.

honestly- i didn't know where it came from but i just looked it up

hahaha- look what snopes came back with--
