K is for Kleenex, you know, those super soft tissues with which we wipe our noses. Kids can go through a whole lot of Kleenex with their constant colds and runny noses. It might be wise to keep a box within reach when caring for little ones, especially during allergy season. KERCHOO!
Grandmas also use a bunch of Kleenex. They hide them in their pockets and up their sleeves and take them out whenever the urge to blow becomes irresistible. Kleenex are a must if Grandma is on oxygen, The air hose will irritate her nasal passages and cause her nose to run which may prove embarrassing if she is caught without.Although they are technically "tissues," I still find myself referring to them as Kleenex even though I usually buy Scotties.

I have always referred to them as kleenex, too. My grandmother always used to keep them in her apron pockets (clean of course!). When I inherited a bunch of her old aprons, I wasn't surprised to find on in one of the pockets.
ReplyDeleteCan't go anywhere without my Kleenex and yes, I leave a trail behind me too.
ReplyDeleteInteresting choice for a K topic...
