My Little Monster

Everyone who knows me knows that Elsie is just more than a handful.

This afternoon at lunch she hit a new low.

She was picking her nose, as usual, and I told her to stop, as usual, and she told me that she had to get the bologna out.

THE BOLOGNA. OUT OF HER NOSE.

I went and got the tweezers and it took me a good 3 minutes to get it all out. I probably gagged a good 3 times as well. When it finally came out, it was 1 inch long. I flipped it off of the tweezers onto her plate where Elsie proceeded to eat it.

The bologna that was in her nose was now in her mouth.

Here’s a picture of our little monster. Her brother wrote her name on the chalkboard and she drew a picture of herself in the middle of her name.

Yes, that’s gross… but don’t be too hard on her. Every kid puts something in their nose at one point or another. One of the Ghormley kids (I won’t say which one) once put a TicTac in the nostril. It took a long time for that sucker to come out.

The eating of bologna after its retrieval? Icing on the cake. Oh. my. goodness.

Rebecca was complaining for several months about her ear hurting off and on. I thought she told me there was a bead in it. I said, “Yeah, right.” Weeks later, when I was reading to her in front of the sunny window, I looked down her ear canal, and low and behold, a wooden bead! The doctor had quite a time retrieving it!
