Boogers

T wakes up a bit annoyed and begins wiping his nose.

T (annoyed): “I have boogers!”

S: “Let me get a tissue.”

S gets out of bed and gets some toilet paper from the bathroom. T continues wiping his nose with his hand.

T: “No! Not that one! The other one!”

S: “The suction one?”

T: ”Yeah.”

T whines. S gets the suction bulb.

T: “Mommy want to do it.”

S: “Mommy’s sleeping.”

S proceeds to suction T’s nostrils. Nothing comes out.

S: “Is that better?”

T: “No!”

S: “Nothing is coming out. You have a dry nose because you are dehydrated. There is nothing I can do.”

T whines some more.

T: “Do it again.”

S proceeds to suction T’s nostrils again. Still nothing. T whines.

S: “The only thing that will help is standing up and drinking some water. Should I get your water?”

T: “Yeah.”

S gets up and gets T’s water. T takes a drink.

T (excited): “It’s helping!”

T happily gets out of bed.
