Don't put that in your nose!!

[whiskeygirl]

Ok, so my 2 year old nephew stuck a wheel from his toy car up his nose, then wouldn't let his dad get it out. I was trying to help my brother get the toy out of his nose from 9 time zones away. In a media mix of web cam and MSN Messenger we pleaded with a 2 year old to expel the little rubber doughnut when the hilarity of the whole scene hit me.

What have you seen up a nose or in an ear? How'd it come out?

slightly gross one.. when my sister and i were little we were visiting family friends who had a son my sister's age (about 10 maybe). we were in his room, and he had a beanbag, and for some reason we started shoving the beans in out nose and then trying to blow them out at each other, which was fine, but the more we did it, the funnier it got till my sister accidentally laughed and snorted on well out of reach.

cue mass panic, slight hysteria and a little hilarity.

she ended up not being able to blow it out, so she sniffed and sniffed, and eventually coughed it out her mouth.

after discovering the uncharted passage between nose and throat, she went on to become quite good at sniffing up spagetti, coughing it out, and 'flossing' between nose and mouth.

One of my friend's sons decided to stick a pencil-top eraser in his ear. By the time his mom found out about it, the tissue in his ear had began to grow around the eraser - I believe it took same day surgery to get it out!!
