"Oh dear, my Mummy is on the phone and I am in the garden and I am bored. My nose is very interesting though. I wonder if it would be more interesting with a small stone stuck up it?"
And the little brain instructed a little hand to put a small stone up it. Fortunately, his Mummy noticed and managed to squeeze it out.
A few years later, a second little brain was enjoying the taste of some raisins when it wondered what it would be like to eat one through its nose.
"Oh dear," said the second little brain shortly afterwards, "I don't think that was such a good idea...."
Nor did the second little brain's Mummy and Daddy and they were just about to set off to casualty when the second little brain ran into the sofa and winded himself. "Look" cried the second little brain, "I've snorted it back out!" His parents were very relieved.
Time passed. Then yesterday a third little brain was sitting in the supermarket trolley chewing a nice healthy granary bread roll.
"Ah," mused the third little brain, "My nose feels very empty and here on my roll is a nice big grain that I think would fit very snugly up there." So the third little brain shoved the grain up her nose but was a bit perturbed when it wouldn't come back out again.
"Mummy," said the third little brain, "I've got bread up my nose."
"Nonsense dear," said her Mummy.
"But I do Mummy, I do," the third little brain began to wail. "Get it ooooout!"
So her Mummy found a tissue and instructed the third little brain to blow hard and they were both very thankful when it blew out onto the tissue.
"Phew." said her Mummy. "Don't do that again eh?"
Anyone care to guess which foreign object was inserted in the nose in the photo?
a) a small stone
b) a raisin, or
c) a grain from a bread roll

My guess is the raisin. I'm going off to check photos right now
Granny
I'd second that, looks like the raisin incident to me. Mel x
Yup - a third vote for the raisin
By the shape and colour I would guess that it is Pleistocene
I'm guessing it's the bread
I don't think I wrote that terribly well, but for the record, it is the nose that had a raisin stuck up it. The raisin wasn't there when I took the photo though. We were too busy looking up whether Max could die from aspirating a raisin to take photos at the time!
