The other way

Grace has had this on/off/semi persistent runny nose for the last while, and has been spending way too much time with her finger up her nose – regardless of the protests of her parents.

Other than persistently trying to get her to use a tissue we've told her that we don't want to see her with her finger in her nose and if she wants to do that she has to go and do it in private in her room (not that she ever does).

We were having breakfast this morning and Grace had finished and was sitting at her table. She was facing away from us but clearly had her finger up her nose. "Grace, take your finger out of your nose." To which she protested, "I'm facing the other way!" (i.e. but you can't see me).
