SNOT Wonderful SNOT!!

Well it has been over a month since I last posted anything on the blog. Hard to believe but I have been pretty busy. So I have had this post in my brain for awhile, time to get it on the site.

Snot..... a topic that my wife does not like to talk about, and I am sure she wishes that it did not even exist. However it does and anyone with little kids should know, you are going to see it at sometime as a parent weather you want to or snot! The other day CG was sitting at the dinner table and sucking on her thumb, now when CG sucks her thumb usually her pointer finger goes right up her nose. Hey why not your hand is that close to two of your body cavities why not start filling them up with fingers. I am surprised she has not filled up both nostrils with fingers. I guess you have to leave one passage clear for breathing however. But Mrs. Clean and I usually tell her to get her finger out of her nose, and most of the time she does so with out complaining. But not this time, her response and I am quoting "I want to get something out of it!" OK, well you can't argue to much with that why else would you stick your finger in your nose.

To continue on the topic and to further gross out my wife, what is the typical thing that you see kids do when they are congested and have more snot than they know what to do with. Do you see them run to the tissues and blow there nose. Heavens no, that would take precious time away from playing. I have a sleeve right here on my shirt. What do I need a tissue for? So their shirt turns into the snot rag. Or option number two is the old "suck and swallow" routine. You know what I mean, the kid starts to inhale trying to get any air through the clog in his nose and it sounds like they are trying to start a flooded lawn mower and when they can suck in no more the big gulp trying to get it down. Both quite effective if you don't have a tissue.

Then later in the month I had another snot moment with a co-worker. She was sitting at her desk in NYC and asked me if it was cold outside. My first thought was of course it was cold out, and I said well yes it is cold out. She says to me well is it REALLY cold out. My comment to her was "you mean like freeze the snot in your nose cold?" she laughs and says yes like that. I say "nope not that cold."

So I am sure that I grossed some people out but that it what snot is all about, grossing people out, I don't see much of any other purpose in it, unless your starting a collection! Until next time enjoy your snot responsibly.
