Eat my words

So my beautiful wife is an online shopper...nothing too crazy, a lot of essential stuff, but on occasion we tend to disagree on what is"essential". It is very convenient and definitely comes in handy around the holidays when we can ship everything straight to her folks house. But anyway, back to the essential...a few weeks back a package arrived and I thought I actually had a hole in one, a surefire win, but now I stand here man enough to eat my words. The package in question contained an automatic booger sucker for the baby. Yes you read that correctly, a booger sucker. We already had one of those little rubber bulb aspirator things which seemed to me to work just fine, so why on earth would we need to spend twenty bucks on this other contraption that automatically sucks out the boogs while playing music and then deposits them in a nice little clear container. I mean if you're going to suck out the boogs while playing music to your baby you should be able to clearly view the products of your labor. So anyway I kind of freaked out and put my foot down, insisting this item had to go back, but my wife wisely held her ground and now here I am, eating my words. The booger sucker rules!!! My son ended up getting a cold yesterday and being four months old he can't blow his nose, and the little bulb just wasn't cutting it, so out came the booger sucker, and I can't tell you how great it felt to fill up that little clear plastic container with all those boogs.
