A-Z: Crazy Childhood Story
A crazy story from my weird childhood.
Hello there, fellow humans. I have one amazing story to tell you. I barely remember it, but it’s been retold so many times in my family I know it perfectly. Me and my sister, Lily, were about six years old at the time. We had these cool little toys of Disney Princesses, and we were playing with them.
One thing you need to know: The dolls came with little clothes and shoes to dress them up in. The shoes were very small, an easy size for children to swallow or stick somewhere they shouldn’t. Not the best idea for a children’s toy.
So, Lily and I are playing, and, I don’t know what she was thinking, maybe she thought it would be funny, but she grabs a tiny green Tiana shoe and goes,
“Emma, I’m gonna stick this up my nose!”
I’m thinking, What the heck, Lily, where’d you get that idea? Don’t do it.
She did it.
“…Mommy!”
We run over and tell her what Lily did.
“Okay,” Mommy says, “Just don’t sniff.”
Lily sniffs. Hard. “‘Kay.”
Mommy mutters something under her breath and calls Daddy, who rushes home. We pile into the car and head to the emergency room. They tell us “It’s not an emergency” and “they can’t help us.” Like, I understand, but excuse me? We went to another emergency room which could take us, and they used this big machine to suck it out of her nose. Neither Lily nor I enjoyed the process of getting the shoe out, even though it was quick. I really don’t know why I didn’t like it. Remember, I was only six, so I don’t remember it very well. Maybe it’s because we’re twins, and she didn’t like it, so I didn’t like it.
Either way, the shoe came out and it was all okay.
That was my unusual childhood story that I only vaguely remember. My sister and I are just weird like that.
