That statement is never followed by good stuff. “Mommy, I need help carrying this present I made you.” Or “Mommy, I need help putting away all these dishes I washed. It’s always, “Mommy, I need help putting all the water back into the toilet.” Or “Mommy, I need help gluing all these pieces back together.”
So when I heard that dreaded opening statement, I took a deep breath and asked,
“Help with what, Zeke?”
“I need help getting a Perler Bead out of my nose!”
“Aaaaahhhh! Uh, I mean, it’s OK, don’t worry…we’ll get it.”
I held his right nostril closed and said, “Blow!”
Note to self: Hold tissue in front of nostril to catch Perler Bead and everything else that comes flying out onto my chest.
(Sigh…)

And you saved it!
Thank you for not showing us the “everything else” that came out!!
Ugh! Gross, but hilarious!!!! Glamorous job – being a Mom, huh?!
I think children’s noses should just be sewed shut from 1 until whatever age they outgrow putting things up there. I need to calculate how much time I have spent getting things out of children’s noses over the years but it would have saved me that much time had they not had access to those little holes!
