Up Yours (Your Nose, That Is)
Thursday, July 3rd, 2008
You don’t really think much about your nose - until it’s blocked. Hopefully as an adult, that only happens when you have a cold, which is uncomfortable to say the least. It’s difficult to breathe and your sense of smell all but disappears. Now think back to when you were a kid. Your nose was probably plugged on numerous occasions and not necessarily by mucus. I’m not sure whether the motivator is curiosity or boredom or a cry for attention, but children are fascinated with sticking objects up their nostrils. As a result, Babyzone.com has published a list of the Top 10 Things Kids Stick Up Their Noses. Here’s the list:
- Crayons
- Beads
- French Fries
- Fingers
- Marbles
- Spaghetti
- Tissue (Bits of Kleenex)
- Cheerios
- Small Toys (Like Lego)
- Beans and Peas
Do you remember sticking anything up your nose as a child? Have your kids done it? Were they able to blow the object out or did the incident result in a trip to the emergency room?
