How sweet is it when your child just starts having a somewhat uncontrollable meltdown as you are chatting it up with your neighbors. (Keep in mind that these are the neighbors that have two really sweet and well-mannered girls.)  I was trying to tell him to toughen up, but he just kept complaining that his nose hurt.  We have been having a problem with him picking his nose lately, so I said, “that’s what happens when you pick your nose so much Scout.”  But the little neighbor girl interrupted me and told me that he put something up there.  Truth be told — I didn’t really believe her.  But after five straight minutes of him crying, I finally excused myself and went in to see what the issue was.  I really couldn’t see anything, but after really inspecting (thank goodness the girl gave me a tip off) I saw a light colored ____?  After an interrogation, Scout admitted he had shoved a corn nut up both sides.  Talk about a bad flirting strategy.   It took a few minutes, but after plugging up one side, and making him blow — the really large snotty corn nut reared it’s ugly head.

I could not believe how big it was.

When I showed it to him, he started laughing.  When I said, “we won’t ever do this again — right?”  He responded with, “But you got it out.”  Awesome — next time try something cooler like a quarter.
