The Drama

I got home tonight around 9:10 and found a little drama at the Carter house. Kyla was crying and saying, "Oh, this is just horrible!" as only Kyla can. Sabrina put the girls to bed at 8:30, and, right before I got home, Kyla had started screaming. While in bed (supposedly trying to go to sleep), she wadded up a small piece of a Kleenex and stuck it in her nose (don't know why). Well, it got stuck up in there. When I got there, Kyla was laying down flat and Sabrina was looking up her nose to see if she could see the Kleenex. Laura was just hanging out, watching the drama unfold before her. The girls sleep on a bunk bed, with Laura on bottom and Kyla on top. Anyway, Sabrina couldn't see the Kleenex, so we got Kyla to tell us how big the piece was and it seemed the piece was small enough that she had possibly swallowed it. Of course, Kyla just kept saying how horrible this whole thing was. She said that her nose felt "pinchy." Then, I asked Kyla if she had tried to blow it out. She replied in Kyla style, "I haven't thought of that." She blew her nose a couple of times and out flew the small piece of Kleenex. All was fine once again in Kyla's world and both girls were able to go to sleep. There's just no manual for these sorts of things.
