Can anyone explain why a child who is almost six years old would think to put a small googley eye up his noes??? Not the smartest move. Luckily, we got it out before we had to take a trip to the ER.
Ian, right??? I stuck a bead up my nose during sacarament meeting when I was young. I did get it out after much blowing-so no ER visit for me. I did it because my brothers were doing it:)
Read this this afternoon while awaiting an eye exam. Laughed out loud as I connected it to you: The Legacy of Teensy's Pecan One summer day Tennsy was bored (4 year old). She was bored with her hump rope, fed up with her dolls, and irritated by her storybooks. She was irked by every toy she set her eyes on. And so, to keep things exciting, Teensy stuck a pecan--still in its shell--up her nose.
Now, this pecan was not one of the little ones with the tender moist meat. It was one of those big old pecans, hard and dry inside. A fat one, about the size of a fifty-sent pieces...and she could not get it out. The nut was wedged in there, and nobody could make it budge.............On a dare from a pediatrician friend in New Orleans some years later, Dr. Mott took certain choice objects he'd removed from children's bodies during his long years as a physician and put them under glass....the children always made a beeline to the glass display case labeled "Foreign Objects Removed from Children's Bodies."....The pecan remained on display in all its glory throughout the Petites Ya-Yas' whole childhood in Thornton. Not as grotesque, but as a talisman that represented the meeting of Vivi and Teensy, memebers of the Ya-Ya tribe, who made themselves up as they went along and always treid to see what they could hold inside and still keep breathing.
