Raisin

Let's see if I can stop laughing long enough to write this post!!!!

About a week and a half ago, before we left for West Texas, we were at dinner or in the family room...I can't recall exactly...anyway, Max told us that he had a hard raisin up his nose. We were a bit alarmed at first, but looked up in there with a flashlight, had him blow hard into a kleenex, and NOTHING. So, both Matt and I thought he made it up or it fell out without his knowledge.

Fast forward to tonight at dinner. While eating, Max exclaims, "Look, Mom, the raisin!" Not sure what he was talking about, I thought maybe it was a black burned piece from his tater tots. Then, he handed it to me...YEP...it was a booger drenched wrinkly raisin.

Then, it hit me....."Max, is this the raisin from last week?"

"Yep! It's been in there the whole time!"

We asked him if it hurt. I was stunned. And to think that we brushed off the initial incident!

That's me! Mother of the Year!

At least we all got a good laugh out of it!

YOU WIN! That was quite funny though! I will have to remember this story if I ever here that comment from one of my children!

Oh, and aren't you kind of glad you didn't pay ER prices to have it extracted...what goes in must come out eventually eh! Kind of like the laws of gravity

Oh my! That is so funny. I'm glad it worked itself out without any major issues. Did you ask why there was a raisin up his nose?

WOW! Who knew you could go that long with something up your nose.... Sheesh, the things we go through as mothers. Stevie swallowed a penny a few years back and I only wish the extraction procedure was as simple as the raisin one.

OH, my. At least it managed to come out on its own. Did you ask him how it got there in the first place?

I used to work at a school and one day a 1st grader came to me sneezing like crazy. He said "I feel like I have a coin up my nose.....I think it is a dime." Sure enough - I looked up there and saw the edge of a dime. You never now what you'll find!
