Tears at bedtime

16 September, 2008
Posted in: Boys, Daniel, Princess

Daniel (urgently): My nose is running.  Tissue, tissue.

I wipe his nose.

Daniel (crying): No, no, don’t take away the snot.

Me: Eh?

Daniel (crying more loudly): Give me back snot.

Princess (sotto voce):  For God’s sake, it’s only snot.

Me: Danny, sweetheart, it’s gone, er, why did you want the snot?

Daniel: I want it go to bed in my nose.

    Me: blow your nose
    Child 1 : NO
    Me: Why not, you are full of snot
    Child 1: I need the snot
    Me: There is a whole family of snot in there. Snot parents, snot children and snot babies. Soon there will be no room for anyone and they will have to start living in your ears and your mouth
    Child 1: Oh, they are already in my mouth, look!
    Me: ….
