Grandma Got Dipped

I just heard the perfect story that truly represents ancient advice that no longer holds water.

My friend's grandma once told her that in Siberia, people used to cut a hole in an ice pond and dip in newborns to test their endurance for health. 

If the newborn survived, then they will be healthy for the next 5 years. 

If the newborn died, then they were weak anyway.

Of course, grandma got dipped and has survived over 80 years so clearly the test works.

Let's dip our newborns in ice water to test their endurance! Surely it's the only way to survive this crazy crazy world.
