There is no jellybeans in noses in this story, I just LOVE jelly beans !!
Last week a boy in my classroom's mom showed me a kidney bean that had been extracted from her son's nose over the weekend. Ironically, it looked just like the kidney beans in our classroom.
We then had to have a classroom discussion about not putting things in body holes. Now, take my word for it, classroom discussions with 3, 4 and 5 year olds who don't speak much English is something to experience first hand. The discussion came to a close when a little girl said, "Miss Shannon, you shouldn't put beans in your nose or in your fingernails !! "
Here is a cute anecdote about beans and little boys.......
The little boy's mother was off to market. She worried about her boy, who was always up to some mischief. She sternly admonished him, "Be good. Don't get into trouble. Don't eat all the cabbage. Don't spill all the milk. Don't throw stones at the cow. Don't fall down the well." The boy had done all of these things on other market days. Hoping to head off new trouble, she added, "And don't stuff beans up your nose!" This was a new idea for the boy, who promptly tried it out.
