Vitamins and noses
July 25th, 2007 by HenWrite email, hear child being oddly quiet and breathing weirdly. Walk over. He’s playing with his nose. Odd. So I poke his nose very lightly, and one nostril feels a bit firmer than the other. Oh dear… young idiot has put his cod liver pill up his nose.
For once he’s very still, and very responsive to our requests to hold his head up, to stay still, and to not move while his mother pokes the ‘vitamin’ a bit. A strong nose blow later and out flies the remains of a cod liver oil pill and a lot of snot.
Parents sigh with relief.
