The Tragic Booger Incident
I am hoping that this Tragic Booger Incident never actually happens but we had a near-miss the other day. I was desperately trying to dislodge a GINORMOUS booger from my squirmy, resistant daughter’s nose so that she would not make whistling sounds while breathing and it felt like my nail grazed her eye. I had horrid visions of having scratched her little cornea and blinding her for life. I pulled back quickly and began watching for eye watering, excessive blinking and general “what the hell’d you do that for, Mommy” fussiness. Thankfully I saw none of the previous and concluded that it was her cheek that my nail grazed, not her little, vulnerable eyeball. Whew. Dodged a bullet. If she’d only let me use the snot-sucker…
