The Cinderella shoe!

Just a little story from the "Motherhood Files".

Recently Sonja had been picking her nose! I kept telling her that it is not polite to do that. Well, she continued to do it and then one day she said "My nose hurts Mommy!". I told her that it's probably from her picking her nose and that she should stop it. As her nose picking continued she also decided that I needed to blow her nose for her after her nose picking session. This went on for over a week. One day after one of her sessions she approached me to blow her nose. As she was blowing she did so very hard. When I took the tissue away I noticed something in her nostral. I brought her closer so I could see what it was. Lo and behold a tiny Cinderella shoe from her miniature Cinderella was what I saw!!!!! I asked her what it was doing in her nose? She said "I don't know!". I asked her if she put it there (as if I didn't know)! She of course said "Yes". I asked her how long it had been in her nose because this nose picking thing had been going on for over a week! She said "I don't know....I think a long time" in a whiney kind of voice. I told her that she could have hurt herself by doing that and she should NEVER do that again. She promised she wouldn't. Thank God it came out and no damage was done. Kids!!!
