George knows exactly what to do. A magic medicine it will be. One that will either cure her completely.. .or blow off the top of her head. ...

The rule would be this: whatever George saw, if it was runny or powdery or gooey, in it went... George Kranky's grandma is a grouch. She's always mean to George (and not much nicer to his parents either).
