Kids have a knack for getting things lodged in their noses — it’s just part of growing up. If you’re a parent, you’re well aware of how utterly gross children can be. Often, it’s not intentional; sometimes they just can’t help themselves. Kids are naturally curious and if they find a stray piece of food that fits, there’s a good chance it’ll end up in an unexpected place.
Take the case of mom Sarah Thompson, who discovered that her son had inserted a piece of macaroni into his nose. Without skipping a beat, she enlisted her husband, Mike Thompson, to help with the extraction. And of course, she shared the hilarious moment on social media.
“Guess what? Liam decided to see how far macaroni could go,” she posted. “So, I had to guide Mike on how to get it out… best video ever. LOL!”
Yes, her husband was now tasked with retrieving a slimy, half-chewed piece of pasta that had made its way into their son’s nostril. Because that’s what dads do – they rescue wayward food items.
What’s even more entertaining is that other parents chimed in with their own funny stories, perhaps to share a laugh or to empathize with the Thompsons. Every parent has encountered their fair share of messy situations involving bodily fluids and odd objects. In fact, feeling like a walking tissue is sometimes just part of the job.
I recall shopping at the grocery store when my toddler sneezed, and suddenly there was a large snot bubble threatening to invade his mouth. With no tissues in sight, I instinctively reached out and caught it with my hand, while the butcher looked on, horrified. But hey, that’s what parenting is about — doing what you have to do!
Kudos to you, dad. Considering your son’s laughter, it seems you’re nailing this parenting gig.
