Ballers!


Kruz, A.K.A. Baller, decided a few days ago to stick a bead up his nose which, of course, got stuck. Apparently, he was pretending it was a booger and did what every other toddler does; tries to pick it out instead of the logical choice - blow it out. After panicking and running to find Mommy he realized Mommy's advice is the same for real boogers as it is for bead boogers: "Get a tissue!" Due to the large size of the hole in the bead it took quite a few blows to send it flying across the room but it did eventually come out. The whole thing reminded me of a time during my childhood when one of my sisters stuck a bead up her nose while we were in the car. My Mama kept her cool while driving and with one hand on the wheel and the other plugging one nostril that bead too was blown out. The things kids do....

This story reminds of the things kids can no longer do- like ride around in the back of a big van void of any back seats, leaving us no choice but to use upside-down buckets as seats... I'm pretty sure the above referenced story (wasn't it a kernel of corn?) happened in the above said van.. ?

Yes, yes, yes - it was a kernel of corn! As for which van - I don't remember, it was one of the many. Good memory!
