"Momma-she put the whole thing up her nose!"

(For many of you this is old news, but we keep Grandmas up to date here so I'm posting the story here)

Not a good thing. THIS is a little clay ladybug that we made on Sunday. THIS is where it was stuffed on Monday about 4:30 pm (right nostril, specifically):





Now of course MY daughter made sure she did it right. She sniffed in really hard after lodging the ladybug in her nose. That made sure it was good and stuck. I got so freaked out I almost passed out (literally)...usually stuff like this doesn't bother me...I can deal with blood and stuff like that but the thought of a huge emergency room bill without health insurance put me into a panic, not to mention the little bit of blood that was seeping out the nostril....So I got myself calmed down (thanks Frank, via phone). Tried blowing it out. Didn't work. Tried taking my long tweezers and getting it out...she wouldn't hold still long enough. Frank finally got home...only took him 3 weeks (seemed like it anyway). He couldn't get it out either. She just wouldn't hold still for us. Finally we took her to Rebekah's (neighbor) house and after an hour of minor struggling, and tears she was able to get it out with the tweezers.

SO, thank you, Rebekah...you probably saved us about $800 (if not more!). :)
