Nasal invasion...

Dear Nicky,

This evening before your bath, you were so stuffy and snotty I had to pin you down on the floor and literally grapple with you in order to stick a bulb syringe up your nose to suck out some of that goop that tends to accumulate in your right sinus. You hated it. It was like I was branding you with a hot poker. I hated doing it too. It gave you petechia, you cried so hard. But I also got out like a tablespoon of snot out of your nose, and you've been comfortable and happy since. Sorry to make you cry, son. I don't do it for fun, but we both feel better afterward.

Love,
Dad
