I can relate to #10. My parents used a similar procedure on me. They didn't favor pea soup, though. They had a concoction of chopped-up peppers and onions of all kinds, salt, and lemon juice. My paper cuts throughout my body would help the mixture soak into me, giving my soul the "seasoning" my parents said it required.
I still try to avoid peppers and onions today.
Their "soup" wasn't boiling, so at least I caught a break there.
I almost forgot:
