This will be short today.
Why do children insist on shoving small objects up their noses?
And why do they do it when you are already feeling like maybe we should just close shop for the rest of the day?
And why do they have to be round things that spin when you try to pinch them with tweezers?
And why do they never do it when Daddy is home?
I'd love to hear your "up the nose" experiences. I'm sure you all have one (a story, that is). We have two.
If you can find any relavent scriptures that I can find wisdom from today regarding noses I'd like it. The closest I can think of is this paraphrase: "It is easier to get a gold shiny bead out of a 3 year old nose than it is for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven." I came up with that myself. Not bad.

I'm so glad we aren't the only ones! When my youngest daughter was about 4, she somehow carried some beads with her into bed. About 20 minutes after I tucked her in (for some reason dh wasn't home - can't remember why - hmmm...), she went into the bathroom and was crying. I finally found out that she had been systematically dropping beads into her nostrils while she lay in bed! She had 3 beads in one nostril and 2 in the other, and they were not easy to get out!
My second one is an ear story. While on our way home from visiting dh's parents in northern Michigan, our son apparently shoved pretzels into his ear. He didn't tell us about it until hours later when we were home and he had been put to bed!
I can't think of an "up the nose" Scripture either, but I like your paraphrase!
