I Heard it through the Grapevine


When Tierney was between 12 and 24 months old, she was always finding new and innovating ways to make Linda pull her hair out. Once she hid in the shower stall between the wall and the curtain for about 15 minutes while Linda frantically looked for her. She was about to dial 911 when she heard Tier giggle. Another time in a store, Tier hid in the middle of a clothing rack while everyone (including the store manager) looked for her. Once of the scariest times was the time she was quietly sitting in her high chair eating lunch. Linda had her back to her doing dishes. When Linda turned around, she saw a big boogie hanging out of Tierney's nose. She got closer and saw that Tierney had stuffed all her raisins up her nose! Linda started pulling them out, but they were packed tight. She called the Dr. and he told her to rush her to the emergency room since they could aspirate down into her lungs. The Dr. picked them all out with a long tweezers. This boy who worked at Subway must have also stuck things up his nose when he was little. Footage on You Tube shows the worker stuffing lettuce up his nose, then putting it back on the bar to use in customers sandwiches. A customer came in and recognized the boy from You Tube. The nose-stuffing worker faced a 6 month jail term and was also ordered to do 300 hours of community service.
