If we’re not careful, seeing strange things might become a trend! If you are curious as to what I don’t see in the course of a “normal” day at my house, click here. Otherwise, enjoy the following riddle.
My husband was holding Bridget in his arms yesterday when she sneezed. Guess what came flying out of her nose?
Leave your guess in the comments section by 5PM eastern (Sunday, the 16th), and then come back later for the correct answer. The one to have the funniest guess will win a $10 gift card to either Barnes & Noble or Borders. Laughability will be judged by Hannah and Jacob. *Only one entry per person. In the event that someone guesses correctly, he or she will be the automatic winner.*
HINT: The item in question is holiday related!!
************************************
The contest is over and judging is complete! Congratulations to Lance of Dad2Twins. He played to win and catered to my kids’ sick sense of humor by guessing “reindeer poop.” Although it wasn’t reindeer poop, Bridget did, in fact, sneeze out a needle from the Christmas tree. It was a good inch long and considering Bridget has a tiny toddler nose, it was a rather alarming sight! That didn’t stop us from laughing, though.
Okay Lance, contact me with your mailing address and your preferential book store, and I will send your winnings ASAP. Thanks to everyone for playing!!

A raisin?????
I was a preschool teacher years ago. A 3 year old girl also named Melissa pushed a bead into her nose and had to go to the emergency room. She said she didn’t have a pocket and wanted to put it away for later!
I hope your daughter is OK?

I was going to guess a jingle bell, but apparently another “Stephanie” already guessed that so…how about egg nog?

Eggnog was my guess too but Stephanie beat me to it.
How about a piece of candy cane? Or perhaps a small plastic reindeer LOL?

A gumdrop button! (Can’t make Gingy’s voice from Shrek)
When I was a kid I shoved orange peels up my nose. They were there for several days and Mom said I stunk but couldn’t figure out what the smell was. She finally took me to the doctor and he got them out!
