"Stone up nose Mommy"

A few weeks ago, I was in meetings in London for work, then meandered my way back the office, making stops along the way. Well, I get back into the office around 4 and the receptionist tells me that Ethan called, looking for the van. Weird I think, there must be an emergency with the boys as there is no other reason that he would need the van. Well, I can him and apparently, Liam has shoved a small stone up his nose. I laugh, I am told that this is not at all funny and I need to take him to the ER. At this point I still think it is funny.

So, as it was on my Mom's watch, she comes with me and the twindom to the ER. The other people in the waiting room think that stone up the nose is funny, and many stories of beans, popcorn and beads up the nose are shared. I still find it funny, as my son's mis-action has brought so many people to relate.

We see the ER doctor, who tries to look up Liams nose, sees nothing and ASKS ME WHAT TO DO. Well, I think doctor lady, that we should get that stone out, don't you? She hums and haws and then agrees to call the nose specialist (yes there is actually a specialist for the nose, one in St. Ratford too!). Well, we go back to the waiting room to while she calls the specialist. 1.5 hours later (The twindom is screaming, hitting and shouting) I ask the nurse what is up. Well, the doctor has left the hospital, we will have to wait. No I say, you can call me at home thanks. Stone up the nose is not that funny any more. By the way nurse, is there any chance that he could choke on the stone? Well maybe she say. Sleepless night ahead, stone up the nose is not at all funny any more.
