Neck hurts

My boys have complained in the past that their neck hurts.  I always assumed that meant that they slept wrong and so they were suffering from a stiff neck.  Or they turned their head, and something stretched to far and they had a sore muscle in their neck.

I have recently figured out that when they claim their neck hurts, they are actually talking about their throat.  I always tell them to take a drink of water, and that solves the problem 9 out of 10 times.
