Jen: "I am going to the InstaCare."
Jess: "Why!?"
Jen: "Leah just stuffed a poly pocket shoe up her nose and it's not coming out."
Jess: "You're kidding me."
Jen: "No, and she won't let me use the tweezers to get them out. Come home to watch the girls."
Jess: "Okay, I'll be home in half an hour."
I got home after quite a rush-hour commute. There she was. The shoe wasn't big enough to block any of her breathing through her nose (see her left nostril in picture), but Jen said she was talking like she was congested. Luckily, by the time I got home, Leah had decided that I could try to pull the shoe out of her nose. Despite her willingness initially to let me try, she quickly turned back into a non-compliant.
Jen wrapped her up in a blanket so her arms weren't free and I attempted to use the tweezers. I wasn't having much success (dang it, I knew I didn't play enough Operation as a kid). Jen and I switched roles and Jen quickly got it out of her nose.
Quite a delightful end to an already long day!

Didn't one of the Bowman girls (mom's old neighbor in Spanish Fork) get an eraser stuck up her nose? I think it was so far up there they didn't even know it was there. Her mom couldn't figure out what the rotten smell was coming from her daughter, finally took her in to the dr and they found the rotted eraser shoved up her nasal passage. How the heck that child could breathe is beyond me! I think that same child later shoved a pea up her nose. Yikes. Glad you got the polly shoe out. Hope the girls let you throw it out!!
I think this is a first for the Clark gang. I know other kids do this, but none of my kids did it.
Why would a child do this? It's beyond my wildest imagination as to why they would want to store something up their nose. Glad you didn't have to take her to InstaCare!

No, it's not a first! When we were kids in Nebraska, I remember sticking an onion seed in my nose and having a brief panic moment when I couldn't immediately get it out. Luckily, after some creative nose blowing, it came out and I was safe. No growing onions in my nose.
Is that what's wrong with your sense of smell Jess?
That is horrifying and awesome.
