I Sneeze a Lot!
I sneeze a lot!

Sometimes when I sneeze a lot of stuff comes out of my nose.

It goes all over my face and clothes.

I feel embarrassed.

I keep a tissue in my pocket.

I use it to wipe up the stuff.

Usually I can tell if I am going to sneeze.

I feel a tickle in my nose or my throat.

If I think I am going to sneeze, I will try to get my tissue out before it happens. I will hold it over my nose.

Then the stuff will go into it, and not over my face.

I will throw the tissue in the bin, and put another one in my pocket. Then I won't be embarrassed.
