Cute as a button..

2 p.m.
Joanna about to run off to her 5th meeting of the day, phone rings, recognize it as a Stouffville number and decides that maybe I should pick up

School: Mrs. Milroy?

Me: Yes

School: We don't want to worry you but we have Dustind with us and the principal is here and something has happened. Dustind has stuck a button up his nose and we can't figure out if it is still in there or not but he is uncomfortable.

Me: Is he o.k.?

School: Yes - the button may have come out but we felt that we should probably call you

Me: O.k. - tell Dustind we love him and that his mommy or daddy will be there soon

3 p.m.
Carl picks up Dustind and brings him to the hospital after mom call's around and can't get Dustind into a doctor

5:45 p.m.
Carl: We are on our way home

Me: Is Dustind o.k.- how did the get the button out?

Carl: He blew it out himself... we didn't even see the doctor

8 p.m.
Dustind: Mom?

Me: Yes Dustind

Dustind: Where is the button - I think that my teacher may want it back

Me: No Dustind - after it has been up your nose all afternoon I don't think that your teacher will want her button back.

Moral of the story: Tell your kids not to put buttons up their nose - no matter how appealing it may be. IF your kids stick a button up their nose then ask them repeatedly to blow their nose - chances are it will come out on its own.

And onto another exciting day in the Milroy house...
