booger buddies

today brooke & i were driving to see the legend of the guardians movie. on the way there, i kept rubbing my nose & sniffing & finally i said, "i've got a pointy booger that's driving me crazy & just won't move!"

brooke said very seriously, "have you tried plugging your other nostril & then blowing really hard? that can help it move downward so that then you can stick a tissue up & pick it out. but if you go straight to the picking first, you'll just push it up even further & then it'll really be stuck."

i followed her instructions & sure enough - relief.

i heard her chuckling & she said, "i'm still a serious nose picker & i just taught my mom how to successfully pick her nose!"

what would i do without her?
