I couldn't make this up if I wanted to...

My darling 3 year old came running into the kitchen 30 minutes ago yelling "potato chip in my nose! potato chip in my nose!"

Sure enough, there is a potato chip IN HER NOSE.

It's stuck. I can't get it out. She can't blow it out.

And so, we are headed to the doctor's office for 'potato chip removal'.

I find a bit of humor in this because when Olivia was 3 she stuck a PAIR of pink Polly Pocket shoes up her nose. Read the full story here, here, and here.

Apparently there is something in my kid's genes that makes them want to stick things up their noses!

(And yes, in case you're wondering, Emma WAS eating potato chips at 9:30 in the morning. Why? Because some battles just aren't worth fighting. She wanted chips. I didn't want to listen to her crying and whining if she didn't get them. Clearly I am not in the running for mother of the year.)

Editor's note: 12:42 pm:
After a short trip to the doctor's office (and the required $25 copay), the potato chip is OUT. All it took was a little saline nose spray and a few good "nose blows" and the darn thing came flying out. The chip in question was more of a crumb...about the size of a pencil eraser. So, the lesson here is: if I would stock my medicine cabinet with nasal spray I could have saved myself $25. Unreal.
