Eve *really* loves coffee
Eve loves the smell of coffee. Whenever I make some, she runs over to sniff it. Sometimes she takes a bean to carry in her purse to smell during the day.
In case you haven't met her, this is Eve. She's 3.5 years old. Quite the rapscallion.
Earlier in the evening I was making dinner for everybody and as I was assembling the burgers, I heard Eve scream out and then whimper. I asked her what happened and she said that she was sniffing the coffee bean and sucked it up into her nostril. We could not see it lodged in there, so we tried to have her blow it out. No luck. Tricia called emergency care to figure out what we needed to do. While I went inside to get dressed and head off to the hospital with Tricia, I heard a loud cheer from Tricia and her mom.
Ran out to see a mucous-ey coffee bean sitting on the floor. Everybody looked really relieved and Arjun stopped looking so concerned. We asked her if she understood what had happened. She said:
Lesson learned. From now, she can only play with/sniff onions.

I was sniffing the yummy coffee bean and it went up my nose all the way to my head. Then I sneezed it out.
