Noodle of doom

Last night Alex and I were at a restaurant with my in-laws.  Alex was eating spaghetti (or "aggedee") while sitting on my lap.  After a while he started rubbing his nose.  Then he started to sneeze.  Big boogery sneezes with big boogery bubbles.  He kept up the sneezing throughout the rest of the dinner, continued on our drive home, and after we got home.  I figured he was having some allergic reaction to something.  It was getting so bad, I decided I couldn't put him to bed in this condition.  He was sitting on the couch with his lap full of tissues, boogers a-flowing.  This continued for an hour and I started thinking I should run to the store for some Benadryl until suddenly he gave a big sneeze and a noodle, a three-inch-long spaghetti noodle, flew out of his nose and landed on the floor like a slimy boogery  worm.  Alex rubbed his nose, gave a satisfied sigh and flopped back on the couch.  I just looked at the noodle in disbelief.  How in the world could he have threaded a three-inch long noodle into his nose without me noticing?
