{Trust Me. You do not want a picture of this event.}
This morning while I was walking Calvin to school I heard him sneeze loudly and exclaim, "Mom, I need a tissue!" I turned around to see him bent over with the world's biggest snotty booger hanging out of his left nostril.
And I had no tissue.
And from where I was standing, I couldn't find even a leaf. (A disadvantage to living in the desert.)
So, I did what any mother who loves her child would do. I let him wipe his nose on my shirt.
And it grossed me.
And I rolled up the bottom of my shirt onto itself so as to hide the grody (pronouced GROW-DEE, as in slang for gross) booger from other people, and I (with dignity) made my way home.
Thank you Jenn, for standing by me.

I have been in the exact situation a couple times - no photo needed! The image is still deeply implanted in my brain. LOL - jennifer
I did that for you once, uh huh! It filled my heart with that yucky, I didn't sign up for this feeling! Its what love does.
Last night, at a soccer game, with no tissue in pocket, Anders said "hey mom, can you hold this?" and glancing down I thought it was a string, and I said yes, but it was a booger.... Yes, I was a little grossed too.
Sooo funny! Reminds me of another story you told me...hee hee!
LOL! You are a good mother! I don't know if I could have done it! I'd be more likely to use his shirt. =) I should learn from you. Well done, Friend, well done!
shudder
Haven't you heard of flinging it?
