A Christmas Miracle!

My Great Aunt was babysitting me Christmas evening and we were playing Don't Spill the Beans, a game I had gotten from Santa. The game pieces included tiny little plastic kidney beans, and while I was waiting for my aunt to finish her turn (and out of shear boredom) I started putting the kidney beans up my nose. Of course one got stuck. I started freaking out and my aunt tried in vain to get it out with her fingers. I couldn't blow it out no matter how hard I tried. An hour later, my aunt had me flat on my back on the kitchen counter while she was trying to shove a butter knife up my nostril and talking hysterically about how my mother was going to kill her. Right before my parents got home from their party, the butter knife worked and the little sucker popped right out! Crisis averted. Although I think, to this day, one of my nostrils is bigger than the other.
