The Nose Bleed Section

A scream tore through the night like a knife in my heart. I raced to the bathroom to find my six year old COVERED in blood. What is happening? How did you get hurt? She is crying and screaming," MY NOSE IS BLEEDING, MY NOSE IS BLEEDING!!!"

I grabbed the tissues and attempted to stop the gushes of blood and calm her. It was the middle of the night and I was a little disoriented. "How did this happen?" I asked her. I am of course thinking the worst, maybe a brain tumor. "I was picking my nose." she cried.

WHAT IS IT WITH MY KIDS AND BOOGERS!!!! Eventually the bleeding stopped. In exasperation I asked A. ,"WILL YOU PLEASE STOP PICKING YOUR NOSE!?!" She looked up at me, "Why?"
