Poppin pills

Right, so, i've just remembered this.  Apparently it's not normal, when you're taking a pill, to first fill your mouth with your drink and then push the pill through your now closed lips so that the drink doesn't come out.  

My mum was crying with laughter at me doing that yesterday.  

It just makes sense to me.  Means i don't taste the pill/feel it on my tongue so it's easier to swallow.
