Have you ever done something, that while you're doing it you know it's not a good ideal?
I sure have. It was back when I was 17 or 18. I was with some friends in their car and why we had gum balls I don't know, but we had a handful of them. I don't even have the excuse that it was a dare but I put a gum ball up my nose! ( Don't ask why, I tell ya, I don't know why! ) We all laughed and I blew my nose. Gum ball did not come out. Gum ball was stuck! By that time my friends were helpless with laughter and I was getting worried. I did not want to go to the emergency room at my age and explain why I had put a gum ball up my nose. Also I now had blue snot coming out my nose as I had been pushing and poking at the gum ball. I was finally able to spread my right nostril and put a finger on left one and blow a hard sharp blow. Plop! Out came the blue gum ball. Live and learn, I have never put a gum ball up my nose since then.
So, you ever do anything that stupid?

I swallowed the tip of a curling iron when I was a kid. It was white and squishy and I liked sucking on it.
ReplyDeleteI would often sit in the bathroom and talk to my sisters when they were getting ready and I would swipe the end of the curling iron off and stick it in my mouth.
One time I coughed and then choked on it and down it went. Luckily it passed through in a day.
After that I was more careful what I put in my mouth.
I'm picturing you with blue snot drippings as you try to get the gumball out. That was dumb. Maybe I haven't lived enough, but I don't think I can top that. I'm famous for dumb things like "sure you can have a gerbil or two" and then 1 week later we have an estimated 20 of them.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was 18 years old, my sister and drove to Madison with our friend R. He wanted to take us out dancing at this famous place. Well, dumb dumb me puts my purse down under my coat on the chair and goes out on the dance floor to dance a couple songs with my friend R. When I came back off the dance floor my purse was gone! Yup, someone was watching me and swiped my purse. I had cash, my drivers license, SS card etc in that purse. How dumb was that?
ReplyDeleteThe Madison police fun my purse weeks later but everything inside was emptied...gone, just like that.
You can bet that after that incident, I've never left my purse sitting anywhere unattended.
I stuck a screw up my nose once. I think I was about 4 or 5. I clearly remember putting it up there and freaking out because I could not get it out, but have no memory of it ever coming out. Strange.
