A Tic-Tac in My Nose

Sitting quietly (somewhat) in our pew in church today, Jenna informed us that she had a tic-tac in her nose. One glance up the old nostrils confirmed her truth: there was a tic-tac in her nose and it was not reachable by finger or tweezers.
The Bishop had just born his testimony, so we were in the middle of Sacrament meeting. What to do? Luckily, she was breathing well and didn't see to be in too much pain. She just wanted it out. We tried to have her blow it out, but she just kept sniffing up. Yikes, wrong way!
After a few minutes, we noticed that clear boogers were coming out her nose that smelled, well, minty. (Hey, what a concept...good smelling boogers!)
By the time Sacrament Meeting ended, Jenna was feeling much clearer and quite minty. The tic-tac was dissolving. We wouldn't need urgent care today. Later, she informed us that she had swallowed the mint. Maybe when she is older she'll be able to do the the ole' "spaghetti noodle through the nose & out the mouth" trick. GROSS!!
