Thanks for the Random Advice

On Saturday, after running errands, we decided to take the girls out to Friendly's for dinner.  We walk in and the hostess immediately explains that her goal is to win a stuffed animal out of the 'grab' game in the front of the store for her two year old son.  Walking us to our table, she remarks that we have two girls and asks if we are planning on having any more children.  While this is a little odd to come from a complete stranger, she was friendly, so we explained that maybe a little down the line.  She then asks if we are aiming to have a boy next time, because if we are, she knows the trick.  Again, to remain friendly, we just go along with her and say yes, it would be fun to have a boy.  At this point she goes off on a 10 min explanation about how her sister's sister-in-law works with fertility and that the trick is to drink Robitussin.  What?  Apparently she said that if one of us (she couldn't remember which one), takes the normal amount of Robitussin, it will guarantee a boy.  It apparently worked for two of her friends. 

So, while I will not be following that advice.  Um, thanks :)
