What the heck is in there????

For the past few days, Andrew has been complaining of a " huge booger" in his nose. He has in fact been sneezing excessively, and has not been able to keep his fingers off or out of his right nostril. Normally, this sort of attention to the nose is because it's runny or dry as a result of a cold. Well, his nose is not runny nor is he sick. I really did not think much of it. I just told him to hold the left nostril down and blow really hard, and it should release it. Well, he's five, so I am sure you can imagine how that went. Finally today he carried on and on about this booger and was just constantly in his nose. When I picked him up from school, he lifted his nose and said " look at my booger". I chuckled and said I don't want to see  your boogers. 

Finally, after much persuasion, he convinced me ( purely for amusement) to look inside his nose at this massive booger that has decided to invade him. Now, he was certainly right. There was a "big booger" planted in Andrew's nose. Only... it really did not look like a booger. It was sort of neon greenish. By this time, Daddy had joined in on the fun. And I randomly said to Steven, chuckling, "it almost looks like a neon green LEGO or something". After about 15 min. of negotiating with him, to allow us to pull his "booger" out with the tweezers ( mind you this is a ding dong and a threat to the Dr.s office later, before this all transpired ) he finally allowed up to pull it out. We had to promise it was not going to hurt ( 100 times - literally ).

First grab with the tweezers: A booger indeed. Was larger than the average I would say, but the bigger half of the booger was still up there.

Second grab with the tweezers: Me: what the????? Steven: "What the heck is that?" ( me looking at Steven) " It's a LEGO!" Me: "Andrew, how did this get in your nose?"  Are you ready for it? Andrew: "I don't know!: Me: "You don't know how this LEGO got in your nose?" Andrew: "Mustafa put it up there"

Oh lord have mercy! lol How awful do I feel that these past few days this poor guy had a cone shaped LEGO jammed of up nose, and I just kept telling him to blow and leave his nose alone!

Now, we still aren't 100% sure how the neon green, cone shaped LEGO entered his nose. I can't tell you how many times the story has changed since it's discovery.

Don't worry, no photo was taken !
