Okay, so I have no picture to go with this, but I absolutely must share this latest Grace story. I was peeking into her classroom on Friday and saw that she was picking her nose. I went into the room and commented to Mrs. Kelly that I wasn't aware she was a "picker"! Mrs. Kelly replied that all of her students, at one time or another, are "pickers".
As I watched Grace with disapproval and slight embarrassment, I realized that she appeared really uncomfortable...almost worried. I went over to her and asked if she needed a kleenex. She pulled me close to her and whispered in my ear "Mommy....I have a nut in my nose." I laughed and said, "So, now we're calling buggers 'nuts'?" She rolled her eyes and said "Of course not, I have a NUT in my nose!"
I walked over to the kleenex box and shared this new information with Mrs. Kelly. She laughed nervously and informed me that the class had just had brownies with walnuts for snack. She assured me that the students were allowed to take their nuts off and dispose of them if they wished, but I was already picturing the possibilities of this "disposal" and how it related to Grace's current situation.
I gave Grace a kleenex, helped her blow her nose, and sure enough, out came a pretty good sized WALNUT. "Grace," I said. "How did that walnut get up your nose? Did you put it there?" Grace looked at me, and with all honesty, said "I don't know how that walnut got up my nose." She is still sticking to that story.
