A Sticky Mess

Have you ever had a skittle stuck up your nose? I have and it hurt. I don't really know why I was thinking about this today, but I was driving and my mind suddenly thought of it.

When I was in high school, I was eating skittles after school one day and talking to some of my friends. Someone said something funny, and I started to laugh. Of course, laughing with skittles in my mouth made me start to choke.

I was able to cough the skittle up, but instead of it going back into my mouth, it went up into my nose and got stuck there. I could feel it way in the back, but I couldn't do anything to get it out. I tried to snort it out, but it didn't work. I tried to flare my nostrils, but that didn't work either. I started to panic. I didn't want to go to the hospital to have them take it out. I knew they wouldn't believe my story and would assume I was being dumb and shoving skittles up my nose for some reason.

I finally decided to try to blow it out. I grabbed a tissue and started to blow. It didn't work at first, so I gave it everything I had. That bad boy shot out like you wouldn't believe. Unfortunately, the skittle was bigger then my sinus, and everything stretched out in the process. I think it took a good 2 weeks before my nose finally felt normal again.
