A boy and his popcorn kernel

 This little tiny kernel was quite the topic last Saturday at the Urish household. 

Who knew that this tiny little popcorn kernel could cause such chaos. 


How could this sweet little innocent boy cause so much chaos with one little popcorn kernel, you ask? 
Well, let's just say that if you stuff a tiny little popcorn kernel up your nose, that creates chaos.  Not so much chaos for the popcorn seed nor the nose, nor the little boy, but can set a momma's mind into a whirlwind.  Long story short of this was after a fun morning with cousins at the movies, courtesy of Grandpa Rod, somehow a popcorn kernel made it's way up my nose and didn't want to come out.  So, the little popcorn seed traveled with me throughout the day on my many adventures, including the first of two birthday celebrations at the Lawrence Gymnastics Academy.  Dad had to talk mom off the ledge several different times saying, "if it's not bothering him, just leave it alone."  Well, mom would not rest until the popcorn kernel was out.  So, my mom had a flashlight stuffed up my nose most of last Saturday keeping a close eye on the kernel. As long as it didn't get sucked up into the sinus cavity it was probably ok.  Well, mom couldn't resist and put a call into the pediatrician doctor on call. That phone call sent mom over the edge telling her that if it did get sucked up into the sinus cavity that it would need to come out because it could sprout. Yes, that's right...I said the kernel could sprout. GROSS!  Dad continued to talk mom off the ledge and low and behold after laying down for a short nap the kernel must've grown bored with my nose and eventually came out. WHEW!  Once again we could all go back to regularly scheduled programming at the Urish household.  Crisis averted. So, until next time...remember to keep your popcorn in your mouth and not up your nose.

Happy Friday everyone!

Now...if we could just solve the mystery of how this marshmellow got stuck to my head?!
