I’ll come right out with it. I have some cold/allergy/virus thing going on right now. While the ‘output’ may not be huge, it is bothersome.
This leads me to a story about this (formerly) small person.
On one morning drive to day care, while she was doing her two-year-old car seat chatter, Sarah had a huge noisy sneeze. Sneezes happen, so I didn’t think anything of it, other than to say “Gesundheit!”. Plus I had some nasty traffic to deal with.
After a bit, I noticed that it was very quiet in the backseat. I took a quick look over my shoulder to look at Sarah. Her face was covered in green boogers from her nose to her chin. And she had the happiest smile on her face. She was quite pleased with her accomplishment.
I quickly pulled over, got out and cleaned her up. How deep were her sinuses to hold all that snot? It took all the tissues in my purse, plus some McDonald’s napkins that were floating around my front seat to get Sarah’s face clean.
After that, I always checked to see Sarah’s nasal state immediately after she sneezed. I think I still do, and she’s 16 now.
When was the last time you were embarrassed by boogers?
Boogers happen a lot here. Not sure where they store them all, but it always seems like the kids have a storage of them.
