Ok, so this story is for my dad.
Dad and I are two peas in a pod sometimes. We have the same interests, the same hobbies, the same illnesses and ailments.
So this evening, I'm suffering from a cold. My nose is raw from all the dripping and draining and sneezing and I finally got to the point where I shoved tissue up my nose because I couldn't handle it dripping or blowing it anymore. Of course, Billa saw me.
"Mommy, you have [mumble mumble something slightly unintelligible] boo-kers?"
"Yes, Mommy has lots of mocos {boogers, en espanol}."
"Mommy have big boo-kers?"
"Yeah. So Mommy shoved tissue up her nose to keep them from coming out."
"Oh." [Pause] "Like Papa?"
Michael and I burst out laughing then. Like I said, Dad and I are two peas in a pod. When our allergies get really bad, the kleenex plugs come out. (Hey, don't hate! Appreciate!) I hadn't realized she'd ever seen him do that, much less make that association.
Leave it to the kiddo to know how to make mommy laugh.
And there ya go, Pop. Hope you enjoyed that little nugget!
Cheers,
Kelly

This is fantastic! We do the same thing in my family--well, in my family of origin. My brother and I walk around with Kleenex "stubbed ub our use cause we can't breebe." My husband thinks I'm a loon, which may well be true, but not because of the kleenex. Oh, and thanks for teaching me "boogers" in Spanish. Got to find a use for that...
