I remember reading in a book ...

... Angela's Ashes I believe it was, about a bebe having a terrible cold and being all stuffed up with snot. And so, the father leaned down and sucked the snot right out of the bebe's nose. I remember gagging not so quietly upon reading this, causing Mr Brown to look up in alarm. I think he was concerned I was about to projectile vomit all over the nuptial bed.
Hell, just thinking about it now has brought an uncomfortable feeling upon me, a sort of pre-gag.
Anyhoo, I came across this the other day (no, I don't care to explain why), and thought to myself, just how very far we have come.
That is all.

One of your book posts reminds me of a new country song that I think embodies the essence of wisdom...(yup, I thought it strange too)
"God is Great,
Beer is Good,
and,People are Crazy..."
Just thought I'd share.
Enjoy your day!

Breast pump, nose pump... Kiddies are trouble! I don't wanna know if there's a poo pump.

heheheh. breast milk up the nose works very well, tho mostly it does spray over their whole faces.
I licked the wee girl's eyeball once when we were at the beach - she had sand in it and everything else was covered in sand too - what else is a mother to do?
