PARENTHOOD

There's nothing like it.

and never, EVER, forget which end has been where.

no. no, no, no, no, no. *retch*

I have raised two children to teenhood and have never, ever, sucked snot from anyone's nose, in any fashion.

I will re-read this when I get nostalgic for the "baby years".

[crossgirl]

speaking of ends....do they have a handy little tool to help those constipated tots?

".... little kids hate having a bulb syringe stuck up their nostrils. Can you blame 'em?"

Of course not. Any parent nose knows they would rather have pencils, gum, silverware, spaghetti .....

Call me a gross guy, but if this device had been around when the kids were little, I would have said, "Sign me up and sell me an extra filter." The effectiveness of a bulb syringe for this job was roughly that of using a Shop-Vac on a landslide.

We have a device similar to this, only it looks like a very small bong (snot lands where the water should be), it really works wonders on newborns. And my wife is amazed at my lung control and ability to gently suck snot for about 45 seconds.

Interesting that we've survived for 40,000 years without this--icckk! There is no one that I love this much...

[Meanie the Blue]

Wow! Happy Birthday, Allen.

"If you've got a snotty kid..."

Don't we all.

[PG13 Wodehouse]

Noseferatu? Creepy.

[Schadeboy]

I guarantee you the smile on that kid is Photoshopped. Possibly on the woman, too.

[Jeff Meyerson]

"Do you want fries with that?"

[Emmett Flatus]

"An inline filter prevents the snot from ending up in your mouth."

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

[Annie Where-but-here]

$15? You can buy 7 bulb syringes for that. What happens if you accidentally cough into it - do you knock nasty old snot back into your baby? This is disgusting.

[Allen at Division]

...and siphoning gasoline by sucking on a hose is safe, too!!

[Ednausean]

Put a nipple on the other end and let the kid suck snot. Better, two tube the kid (the better to 'un candle" the 'booger'.)

[KJ]

I'm a nurse and have been out of the delivery room for a long time. But we used something similar to suction newborns. Not sure if they still do, but really, they work like a charm

[Renee (the First)]

Note to self: Never kiss random thunking on the lips.

[Siouxie]

*slurrrrrrrrrrrrp* 'n boogers!

So much easier to use is the Portable Nasal Mucus Removing Device, aka Snot Sucking Gun.
