My son stuck a Barbie shoe up his nose

:eek:

…And when he sneezed, he said “Ahh-ahh-aaaahh-SHOE!”

:eek: :eek:

Kids do these things! Good gods!

Apropos of entirely nothing, I once (with a friend) unravelled an entire package of toilet paper in the hallway outside my bedroom and played in it all afternoon. The look on my mother’s face went past hysterics and all the way into nuclear detonation when she got home.

I’ve never stuck anything up my nose, though. (I once put a nickel in my ear…)
Winston, how’s the wee Smith doing?

Don’t worry not all kids do these things.

Just most boys do.

BamBam is right as rain. Thanks for askin’. :smiley:

He was justifyably indignant during the “procedure”, in which a RN held his head, I held his arms & legs, and the doc removed the shoe with a long, thin tweezer. Actually, to say he was indignant would be a mild understatement.

BTW, one of my daughter’s favorite passtimes is unrolling TP. She once unravveled and entire mega-pack from BJs in one session. What the hell my wife was doing at the time, I don’t know. To be fair, I’ve fed them popcorn and chocolate chip cookies for breakfast two or three times, just so I could relax and read the paper and drink a cuppa coffee in peace. :smiley:

My boy is going to sit perfectly in his sailor suit in his high chair listening to classical music with his hands folded.

:dubious:

Yeah, okay. He’s already tried to fling himself out of our arms to get to his stuffed bear. On the floor. We’re starting to get worried.

I believe it’s in reference to an old Cheech and Chong record from the late 70’s or early 80’s. I can’t for the life of me remember the name though… The same album with the Sargeant Stadanko skit.

I know! :eek:

Holy crap that’s disgusting. I already have a phobia about seeds sprouting (go figure) but up a nose??? BLEAHH!!!

I would never do anything stupid like sticking a blueberry up my nose.

When I could convince my younger brother to stick it up his nose instead.

Yes, it’s a reference to a bit off of Los Cochinos, which was released in 1973. Sorry I couldn’t find a working audio file.

We managed to get three through childhood without anything having to be retrieved from various openings, so it is possible to do. The more I read the threads in here, the more I know how lucky we were. I used to be sort of proud of my parenting abilities, but the older I get the more I know that has very little to do with it. We just had less adventurous kids, I guess. Of course, that didn’t stop my son from getting up on the roof and dropping rocks down the standpipe. That resulted in a jackhammer in the utility room and holes in the wall and floor. I almost think a bean up the nose would be easier.

When I was in high school, I heard another story related to a friend’s toddler cousin’s “pocket.”

So my friend Cara had a toddler aged cousin. Let’s call her Kimmie, as I can’t remember her name. Kimmie started having a rash around her navel because she kept picking at it. When asked why she picked at her navel so much, she replied with “It makes my front butt tickle!” :eek: Little kids can be great with revealing TMI unabashedly.

For those of you who think sticking things up your nose is just for kids, let me present the thread that got me to join the Dope.

I stuck my wedding ring up my nose

Thanks, Tastes of Chocolate, for providing proof that we never really grow up. We just grow older.

Geez, I don’t think I’ve laughed so hard in weeks. That thread is hysterical, particularly the enthusiasm everyone shows to try the different, silly things.

Just read the first page, but that sure is a classic.

the funniest nose story i heard was a green army man in the nose. ya know the bayonet guy—whoo, that must have hurt either way.

just the thought of a wee nose with little green army man legs sticking out of it. yaiiiii!

The link to this thread on the first page (under “last post”) said “My son stuck a Barbie shoe up…”

I was afraid of what I’d see when I clicked on it. :eek: :smack:

When my best friend’s little sister was about 3 years old, she stuck a bunch of raisins up her nose. Her mom called my mom in a panic, and my mom (an RN) headed next door with her trusty tweezer. IIRC, it took awhile for my mom to get all the raisins out.

The little sister is now married with a child of her own. I can’t wait to see what he tries. :smiley:
