A Close Encounter of the Nasal Kind

With six children under the age of nine my life gets pretty funny sometimes. Yesterday evening was getting ready for bed as usual when I asked my 2-year-old to see her clean teeth. While looking into her mouth my 5-year-old decided to see what would happen when he banged our heads together. What happened was a horrible crunching sound that only I heard and stars. The blood came pouring out of my nose moments later as I ran up the stairs to the bathroom sink. I was sure it was broken and shook like a leaf while trying to cradle cold tap water against my nose. The good new is that I did eventually fall asleep despite the pain and this morning the only sign of my evenings collision is a sore honker.
