According to Owen, that would be the right nostril. He put a piece of penne up his nose during dinner tonight. Travis had to fish it out with tweezers. They had a little talk about not putting things up the nose, but I suspect that we'll be having this conversation again in the future.

Owen was good-natured and cooperative during the penne extraction. He called the tweezers "tongs", because he's seen our BBQ tongs a lot more often than tweezers.
Which raises an interesting issue: what distinguishes tweezers from tongs? Size? Shape of tip? Spring mechanism? Object to be grasped? I'm thinking it's the latter (which drives the size and tip shape), but without a 2-year-old around, I never would have even considered it.
You should write a funny children's story about a little boy who sticks penne up his nose and then can't get it out and so he tries to sniff it through ("if it won't come out, it will have to go in and around") but the penne gets stuff in his brain and he "can't get pasta off his mind" and he grows up to be a great pasta chef but when he argues there are holes in his logic.
