I got a phone call today at work, from Tink’s daycare provider.
Guess what my five year old did today?
Anyone? Anyone?
Here’s a hint:
No, she didn’t create anything. Yes, She was playing with the beads, she was under supervision, she’s just sneaky. She stuck a shiny pink bead in her nose. Yep, in her nose.
So I leave work, try to get her to blow it out - and every time she would go to blow it out - she would sniff it up further… so before it cause any damage - I took her to the local doctors office, thinking that we would be going to the Big City to the west or Bigger City to the south, so that an ENT could remove it.
Get into the doctor’s office, by this time she is crying, her nose is starting to run - she keeps sniffing, although I keep asking/telling her not too… We don’t have to wait in the waiting room, we go right back to an exam room - and the nurse looks, and says - lets try…
and Tink’s eyes get really big… “I don’t want a shot!”
Nurse C grabs a Kleenex, has her blow - nothing, try again - nothing, - we can see it, but nothing is coming out. By this time the doctor is back from Lunch, and comes in - and says - I think we can get it - go get… (names some tool)… and the nurse steps out.
Tink looks at me and sneezes - and out pops the bead…
Dr. S - why would you put a bead in your nose?
Tink: To see if it would fit.
Dr. S - just smiles - fills out our paperwork, gives Tink a sticker and to the front desk we go.
I get ready to write out our co-pay and the gal says -
“No charge today”….
So if someone could explain the logic behind her thinking, I’d be so grateful….

thankfully neither of my children went thru the “put stuff in your nose” phase. I have no idea what she was thinking!
11:32 pm
Mel - Pan never went through this phase either - so this is a first for us too!
12:09 am
I thought all kids did that at one time or another. I used a bean when I was a kid. Luckily it came out when I blew. I have no idea why I did it either. I never did it again.
8:41 am
One of my old co-workers daughters did that….with a marble. Is it a girl thing?!!
9:53 am
she is freaking adorable… bead and all.
10:46 am
Just to see if it would fit? Hmmm, all kinds of adult thoughts going on here, but glad Tink’s OK.
12:55 pm
At least the doctor didn’t charge you. LOL.
I think the logic was, “I have an open orafice, so let’s see what I can put in it!”
1:30 pm
LOL LOL
NOw I’m sure you were far from LOL during this.. but since i know the outcome and know Tink is ok this makes me giggle a little
knock on wood none of mine have tried anything like this yet.. give it time though.. Little Man(the 2 year old) has done so much stuff that the older 3 never would have thought of doing.. so I know my day will be coming.
Glad she is ok, and Glad you didn’t have to pay for the visit.
3:06 pm
i hear about this all the time - thre is NO logic! cute story though.
7:57 pm
She is SO awesome!
8:16 pm
If I could explain her thinking it would make being Princess’s mom SOO much easier! (This is just like something she would do)
8:23 pm
it’s because her nose and that bead were in the same place, at the same time.
come on, mom, you should know that. LOL!
Kids?
9:04 pm
I can’t really say much because me and 2 of my brothers were experts at putting beads up our noses. Only once (or twice?) did it go so far up into the nasal cavity that Mom had to take us to the doctors for removal with a really (really!) long metal object!!!!!
(Dried beans too)
9:17 pm
That was hilarious.. to see if it fit. And no charge. Almost worth it. What a precious girl.
11:46 pm
too funny!! i think they enjoy giving us mini heart attacks.
glad everyone survived, and glad you didn’t have a co-pay!
1:00 pm
Ummm…
I had a similar incident last night. And no, grapes do NOT fit.
11:53 am
LMAO i loved this.
9:14 pm
The only thing I stick up my nostril is my finger, that way if I sniff too hard I’m not likely to get it jammed up their as it still attached to my hand!
