Cute Button Nose

When I was in elementary school the first grade to be exact I was a very hyperactive child and I managed to get into everything I possibly could. I remember I was bored and sitting in my Nanny's spare bedroom I was supposed to be cleaning her jewerly box which I did just about weekly. I was snooping through all of her things which I also did on a weekly basis when I came across what I thought was the coolest collection. It was a huge glass jar filled with old buttons they were every shape, size and color you could imagine. So Misse being Misse I decided I really liked this little pearl white one I was gonna steal it I just had to do it quickly before Nanny got back from the bathroom. I heard her coming the bathroom door was right next to this room I was sitting in. I quickly shoved the button jar back into the corner where I found it and threw some old sewing fabric over it and then I did it I stole it...but I didnt just steal it I shoved it up my nose! For about 10 days I sneezed and my grandparents continued to tell my mom to take me to the doctor because I must have severe allergies. The sneezing continued and continued my eyes watered all day long. Then my Nanny said why dont we go get some fresh air and take a drive to Ms. Bonds flower shop at Pungo Square Shopping Center. When we got there I had sneezed so many times during the ride from the house to the flower shop that my Nanny said just sit in the truck with your Papaw I'll buy ya something while Im in there. I sneezed and said Ok. When Nanny got done shopping and came back to get in the truck I sneezed really hard and the button went flying out of my nose and hit the dashboard of the truck right above the tape deck. My Papaw said Bobby (my Nanny's nickname) that explains the allergies. I had to confess that I had stolen the button and Papaw said "Well it's definately yours now."
