But he sounds funny.
Kinda nasal.
He has really bad allergies, so I take a quick look, and continue singing
Kinda (more) nasal.
I look back again, quickly decide that I am losing my mind, and turn back around.
Then he starts to cry.
Hard.
Like something is hurting him.
I pull over to the emergency lane and stop the car so I can take a good look at him. And there they are. Right there in both of my son's nostrils are two Tic-Tacs!
And lovelies, not just any type of Tic-Tac.
OH NO, when he does something he does it right. They are peppermint Tic-Tacs and they are burning his nose!
So, there I am on the side of the interstate with my flashers on, with Tweezers (yes, I did just happen to have Tweezers with me! You never know when a stray hair may appear my friends) preforming an emergency Tic-Tac extraction!
Oh, I think we learned an important lesson that day.
Always keep the Tweezers handy (just in case)!

Stopping by from SITS...Oh my gosh! I would have freaked out! Thank goodness you had tweezers. And I know what you mean about the stray hairs appearing (actually it's just one hair on my chin), thus why I too carry tweezers in my car. I can't believe I just shared that! LOL!
What about Tic-Tacs not being child-friendly? I try to keep tweezers, but my teenagers steal them--apparently, it's uncool to have a unibrow, though I don't think they do.
Candy up your nose? That is too funny! Whoever thought they were funny in high school never knew what real funny was until they became parents!
Oh-em-gee!!
Of course it would be PEPPERMINT!!
And, hey, did you notice that you can totally see stray eyebrow hairs WAY better in the sun-visor-mirrors in cars? Many times I've wandered out to the car, tweezers in hand, trying to not look suspicious.
Now that I'm a mom I may as well just bring the tweezers WITH me.
Stopping by from SITS to say Hi!!
:D
I think I will have to start carrying tweezers! My 2 yr continues to blow my mind with the things he does...something up the nose might not be that far off!
I keep reading about all these nose accidents that are happening to kids. LOl kids really do do the darndess things don't they. lol
Tyson sucked a kernel of cooked corn up his nose a few months ago. I whipped out the nose sucker, only to find that once I removed the corn, he had smushed a carrot deep into his ear, as well. The nose sucker worked well for that as well haha.
What a cute post!
A funny little story and a very well prepared mommy! Never leave home without tweezers! (Added on my must do list now!)
Thanks for visiting me over at Sweeter Living. So much appreciated!
Have a fabulous week, Jennie!
Thanks for the tip! I can imagine that all the things you can stick up your nose, that would be one of the worst.
Oh my goodness! I don't know what I would have done as I don't travel with tweezers, but will now. That had to be awful for him, thankfully it all worked out due to quick thinking by you!
Happy SITS Saturday Sharefest!
