Scott claimes he has had a sore throat and stuffy nose for the past few days, and he was worried that he may have unwittenly passed his pathogens on to Henry. (totally bypassing me, by the way, as I have neither a sore throat nor stuffy nose).
This morning Henry was a little distressed. Fearful of a sick baby, I tried reading some of my baby books to see if they could tell me what was up with my little man. After a reading a few pages while listening to a screaming baby, I decided to give Henry the once over. The once over revealed that he had a HUGE BOOGER in his nose. It was gigantic.
I tried picking it out with my pinky finger, but my little finger was still too big to fit up Henry's nostril. Then I got that baby sucker-outer thinge that comes in Baby first aid kits. You know what I'm talking about, right? I tried using that to suck out the booger. That only pissed Henry off. Now he was really upset. I was at my wits end.
I decided I needed to take DRASTIC ACTION. Taking a page from the infant CPR manual, I covered his nose with my mouth and sucked. Henry seemed to like that, as he stopped crying, so I did it a couple more times. I think I felt something hit the back of my throat. I checked Henry's nose, and the monster booger was gone. I can only assume that, that funny feeling I have in my throat is the little booger that was bothering my little boy. It's been about an hour, and I've had a cup of tea, some juice and water, but that sticky booger is still in the back of my throat........I hope and pray that soon, I will swallow that booger, and never have to think about it ever again.
