Friday Flashback
Everyone sneezes differently. There are those continuous sneezers, like
mucous sprinklers you need to get out of the way of before they hit you. Then, there
are those passionate sneezers that let the ah-choo thunder through the room causing
all to tremble in its path. When you
here a little boy continuously sneezing with mighty passion, you begin to worry.
That’s what happened to me two years ago when I was
walking my students back to the classroom.
I looked back to check on the little guy, and after one final nasal
eruption I saw the culprit lying in his hands: a button about an inch
long. As a first year teacher I didn’t
have much experience, but I was pretty sure it wasn’t normal for children to
sneeze out buttons. My investigation
of the situation played out like this.
Me: Why did you
put a button in your nose?Student: I didn’t put a button in my nose.
Me: Then how did it get there?
Student: I don’t know.
Not many answers, but kids will be kids and buttons might be in their noses.
