As a child I always believed that someone (usually a male relative) could truly snatch my nose and put it on his own face. I would beg for him to give it back and he of course would return it with a sound effect such as "pop." We then would continue the game and I would take a turn at taking his nose as well. I enjoyed it. I have continued this game with all of my kids. It usually has been taken lightly and in good fun. Yesterday was different.
As Ray was leaving the chapel to escort Nathan to the bathroom, a sweet older gentleman held out his hand to Nathan's face. I think he just wanted to acknowledge Nathan and say, "Hello!" As Ray & Nathan were almost out of the chapel, Nathan wriggled free, ran back the the gentleman, picked up the man's hand placing it on his face, while stating Loudly, "Give me back my nose!" He then turned back towards the door running back to Ray.
Content to have his nose back, he was successful on the toilet, and then happy to go back to the meeting. Later, the older man questioned Ray about Nathan's erratic behavior. When it had been explained he and Ray shared a good laugh.
