Magic Nose Trick

The above photo does not represent the following incident. This is just typical Thea at all meal times.

So........ Mike and Thea were hangin out last week, Thea eating raisins. Mike told me later that she was walking around pointing at and saying nose. He could tell she was trying to tell him something and she seemed uncomfortable. He suspected she had stuck a raisin up her nose. So he began the process of trying to dislodge the could-be raisin. No success! Well eventually she sneezed and out "flew" the raisin. Upon sharing this story with someone, they told Mike a trick to get stuck-in-the-nose-food dislodged. You simply plug the unobstructed nostril and blow through their mouth. Well, LAST night, Thea was spreading chicken pot pie all over her face as we repeatedly told her "no, no, no". She then began pointing to her nose and saying nose (which, by the way is soooo cute"). It occurred to us, the detectives we are, that there was food up there. So Mike executed the trick and out flew a huge chunk of chicken. It was AMAZING. It all happened so fast. I didn't even know he was doing it. I was giddy with excitement because it was sooooo funny. Now, I know food stuck up the nose is a serious thing. It can cause infection and all, but if this ever happens to you, you will laugh too........ just remember the trick.
