Up Your Nose With A ...what?

DD2's medical record must be interesting reading. 6 stitches in the forehead after tripping over the laundry while playing "monsters" with her sister. 5 stitches in the eyebrow after jumping up and down on the couch because Dora was coming on. The incident report section of her school record overflows with falls, bruises and split lips. But this week, she may have topped them all in sheer absurdity.

I haven't seen yesterday's medical record, as DH is the one that took her to the doctor. But I can imagine what it says:

"Otitis Media, bilateral, mild. Rx - augmentin twice daily times 10 days. Status post foreign object in nose: shell pasta, cooked, in cheese sauce. Sinus cavity clear, patient advised to eat with mouth, not nose."

Oh no! What's wrong with kids? My good friend had to have a plastic bead removed from her kid's ear recently. Ow!

Hmm... The wikipedia article on otitis media (an ear infection) doesn't mention pasta up the nose as a cause. I think you need to edit the article :)

Pssst, you're a winner! When you have a chance, can you send me your color preferences and your mailing address? Also, it's hot where you live. Do you wear knit hats and scarves?
