Just moments ago and rather Curious
Hey, Mama!
Yes, sweetie?
(in a very nasaly voice with finger up the nose) I got the bead outta my nose.
(trying not to laugh or sound panicked) You did?
Yes.
Are you sure?
(big loud blowing sounds and no longer nasaly sounding) Yeah, I’m sure.
(deciding I needed to look) Princerella, why did you put the bead in your nose?
(sounding rather irritated that I would dare NOT know the answer.) UH, because it’s pretty!
(trying extremely hard NOT TO LAUGH) Oh.

Believe it or not, even though I’ve heard of children doing these things, with five children this was a first for us.
Well. Isn’t that special! Good girl, Princerella. J’s are proud of you. Just DON’T DO IT AGAIN!
65 years ago or so, our Grandma put a Corn Kix up her nose. Why? Because it was there
[...] Today the Princerella’s nose had some thickness to it and few dried up boogers too that she needed to blow out. She came to me today and said, “Mama, what’s that in my nose?” Me, thinking about this said, “Come here and let me see.” She walked over, tilted her chin up high in the air and stuck her nose just inches away from my face. I told her that was just boogers and she needed to go blow here nose. “Boogers? Gross, Mama. Get them out! Give me a tissue. I don’t want no boogers up my nose.” She then proceeded to tell any sibling that would listen that she had boogers up her nose. Well, the one who seemed to care the most decided to spend the rest of his afternoon with his finger up his nose to see if he had boogers too. Yes, no need to ask, it was the CowBoy. He thought it was cool to have boogers up the nose. [...]
