Hydrogen Peroxide is Amazing

Friday night, Dan and I took Nolan and Miles to Trafalga. It got really dark while we were miniature golfing. Miles was trailing along behind us when Dan heard Miles crying. Dan turned around and picked Miles up. Blood was pouring out of Miles' mouth. I grabbed him and ran him to the ladies room and tried to get the bleeding stopped. I tilted him forward and the blood started pouring out his nose. The general manager of Trafalga saw us rushing to the bathroom and came barging into the bathroom to see if we needed help (and the GM was a man). There were two sweet young teenage girls trying to be helpful as well. Eventually the bleeding stopped and Miles stopped screaming. I cleaned him up. I cleaned the bathroom up. The blood was all over his shirt though (and I mean all over and of course, it was the one shirt of his that I really, really like) After reassuring the GM that Miles was fine and that there wasn't anything he could do for us and we weren't going to sue Trafalga, we hung out a while then left to go get Jonathan. We picked Jonathan up, went home, and I saturated Miles' shirt with stain remover because we were out of hydrogen peroxide. I washed the shirt Saturday morning, then examined it... blood stain city. Because I really, really like this shirt, I wasn't ready to declare defeat. I went to the store and bought a bottle of hydrogen peroxide and soaked the shirt in it for several hours before I washed it again. This time, the shirt was stain free!!! Hydrogen peroxide is amazing.

So what caused all the blood in the first place? I don't know for sure. My suspicion is that Miles was picking his nose and (because it was dark) tripped and fell and the fall caused him to jam his finger far enough up his nose that when he was standing upright, the blood poured out his mouth, but when tilted forward, it ran out his nose. Maybe this incident will inspire Miles not to pick his nose.
