As we went through our night time rituals tonight, Addison asked if he could have a big glass of water. He has been congested lately so I thought it was a great idea. I filled up a glass of cold water from the fridge and handed it to him.
Jeff and Asa just got home from a long day of fence building, mailbox post hole digging, and removing a dead deer from underneath Mim and Papa's porch. Jeff went to run bathwater but couldn't... it seems Addison was in the tub... clothed... with his glass of water... pouring it up his nose.
We inquired as to the purpose of his actions. He recalls that a grandparent told him that pouring water up his nose would help with his cough. It is at this time that he explains that he tried to stick his nose upside down under the bathroom faucet earlier today, but to no avail. This time, he was able to get some cold filtered water up there. He said it felt funny.
It seems that Grandmomma told him that saltwater up his nose would clear his stuffy nose. I'd say he heard half of it right. I wish he would listen to me that well.
