peas

This morning, I was supposed to have a playdate with my good pal Jensen. We had planned to go to Zilker Park and I had already packed a picnic to share. When Jensen and I get together, I eat his lunch and he eats mine.

Then we got a message from his mom (also named Stephanie) that they had been in the ER until the wee hours. Playdate cancelled.

Apparently Jensen decided that it would be a good idea to stuff peas up his nose; it wasn't. The peas got sucked up into his sinus cavity and had to be . . . ugh I cannot even talk about what poor Jensen had done to him but it took two parents and three nurses to hold him down. It was terribly painful and he bled a lot.

My mom has sized my nostrils and it looks like a pea would not fit. For precautionary measures, though, we are not even talking about peas and noses in the same sentence.
