Parenthood

Kateri: my nose hurts
Me (knowing she put something in it last week) what's in there?
Kateri: noncommittal nondenial
Me: did you put something in there?
Kateri: evasive
Me: maybe you scratched it ...
Kateri: I think there's something in there.
Bernadette: maybe you can blow it out when we get home.
Kateri after we walk into the house: here it is. Hands me a slimy round little bit of flower.

This is what Marian deals with every day. Enjoying my time off and intensive time with the kids in the wake of Pia's birth, but this has never happened to me at work.
