oatmeal in the nose

Nope. No one stuffed anything in any orifice.

But, Graham thinks that he might have. Since this morning, when he ate oatmeal, Graham has repeated, "Mommy, oatmeal (oh-me-ahl) nose," and pointed at his nose. I checked and saw none, and decided that (oh-me-ahl) must mean something else. But, he has persisted, and I have since discovered that he is coming down with a cold. So I asked him, "You think that there is oatmeal IN your nose?"

"Yes. Towel please."

"You want me to get the oatmeal out of your nose with a towel?"

"Yes, mommy."

I wiped his nose, and we called it a day.
