Here I am sitting at my computer this morning sipping a cup of tea and doing a little research on the surprise trip to see The Mouse that I am planning, when suddenly Curly walks in and makes it abundantly clear that my life could not be more glamorous. She says....are you ready?..."Mommy, I have a shoe in my nose." Seriously. A shoe, stuck up her nose. (Thank you to UF for the Polly Pocket Easter gift! ) So I quickly put her up on the kitchen counter, and look into the shnoz. There it is, a very fashionable turquoise mule, shoved into one left nostril. So I tell her - "Don't breathe!" Well, that's not good. So I show her how to breathe through her mouth. Then I decide I will try to get her to "blow it out". This isn't working very good, and all I can think about is the phone call to the pediatrician that I am seconds away from having to make. This is great. I am starting to sweat. Curly is remarkably calm. I start to think that maybe the shoe isn't really up there, maybe I saw something else, or nothing. Then First son says, " No Ma, she does have a shoe up her nose! I don't know what happened, mine came right out!" I can not make this stuff up. What possessed you people to stick doll shoes up your nose??
A pair of tweezers and some very dexterous nose picking and the shoe was removed. Curly's biggest concern? "Don't throw it in the Jarbage!"
