So, you may not wanna use the tissues in our house if you just so happen to find yourself with a runny nose, or a tear in your eye, or on the verge of a sneeze...
Ellison has had a runny nose for a while, so there was a tissue box sitting on the floor yesterday, and I turned around to catch her bent over wiping her nose on a tissue... the one that sticks out from the box... while it was still IN the box. I quickly said, "Mookie!", and she just as quickly shoved the tissue down into the box. Yeah, 'cause no one ever would've noticed grabbing a slimy or crusty tissue. Seriously, wasn't it more work to stoop yourself over the tissue box as opposed to grabbing the tissue and bringing it up to your little face???
We've got nose issues in this house (which reminds me: Ellison informed me, "I have issues," the other day. Only one person comes to mind that uses that type of phrase frequently - Daddy, ahem). Either she's got her finger halfway up to her sinuses, or I'm getting handed a booger, or a booger is being wiped on my pants; and now she's disguising dirty tissues...
