It was July and the air was full of pollen. A young teen girl named Cassie was having an allergy attack. She gave a snotty ICKSHOO! and blew her runny nose thickly into a clump of Kleenex. This summer has been terrible for allergic people like me, but I don't care. I like blowing my nose and this is a chance to do a lot of that, she thought. HATCHOO! ESHOO! HUTCHOO! ARSHOO! KERCHOO! HUPSHOO! ATCHOO! HEGSHOO! "By dose is so ruddy ad codgested today", she said. She blew her snotty nose vigorously into a wad of Kleenex, soggy, allergic blows. The Kleenexes filled quickly as thick, clear mucus poured from her nose. She managed to briefly clear her sinuses, but then the pressure built again. KATCHOO! HISHOO! UTCHOO! "Call be Sdeezy", she said. "I thidk he bight have allergies, too." She got some Kleenex and blew her nose thickly. After 15 soggy Kleenexes, she could breathe again. I look like I've been crying, she thought. But it's just allergy eyes. She knew as long as there was any kind of pollen, her allergies would bother her. KETCHOO! HASHOO! UTCHOO! HICSHOO! KERCHOO! ESHOO! ATCHOO! URSHOO! She blew her stuffy, snotty nose into a handful of Kleenex with a thick gurgling, blowing and blowing until there was nothing left to clear out. Her sneezing and blowing went on all morning.
  After lunch, Caitlin asked her sister "Are you having an allergy attack?" KERCHOO! "I thidk so. I dod't feel like I have adythidg gerby, but I'b Sdeezy the dwarf, practically ad so codgested." She blew prodigiously into a clump of Kleenex, leaving it soggy mulch. "Yeah, that sounds like an allergic blow", Caitlin said. "I haven't had to deal with that myself since spring." KATCHOO! ESHOO! HUTCHOO! ARSHOO! ITCHOO! HUPSHOO! ATCHOO! HEGSHOO! "By head's godda explode, udless I clear by siduses. "Guess I better blow by dose.", she said."Thag gooddess for Kleedex She blew hernose thickly into a handful of Kleenex, loud, wet, gurgling blows until she relieved the pressure.Her nose filled up again and she sneezed a wet, congested triple. HATCHOO! ARSHOO! KERCHOO! She got a wad of Kleenex and gave her nose a long, wet blow, followed by a few more. Finally, she cleared the wall of congestion. I wonder if I'll be like this when we go to the Fourth of July Celebration, she thought.
  Cassie got ready to go to the Fourth of July celebration. During this process, she felt sneezy. KATCHOO! ARSHOO! HUTCHOO! "I'b a bess", she said, referring to her runny nose and allergy eyes. She blew prodigiously into a wad of Kleenex, producing a congested gurgle and repeated until the pressure in her sinuses was relieved. Shortly after her family arrived, she had a snotty sneezing fit. HATCHOO! ARSHOO! HEPCHOO! ASHOO! KATCHOO! HUPSHOO! She was not particularly shy or anything, but she hoped she had not grossed him out and said so. He had replied "I don't mind. I like sneezy girls." "By allergies are terrible this year. I really deed to blow by dose. Id's all ruddy frob by sdeezes", she said, before blowing her nose thickly, filling her Kleenex with allergic snot. She got some more Kleenex and blew the congestion from her voice. "I'm Mike", the boy said. "If you like sneezy girls, Mike, then you'd really like me." "I always have allergies when stuff's growing, she said. "I also catch the flu, often followed by a sinus infection and a lot of nasty head colds every year. My immune system's never been the greatest." "You should be in a Kleenex commercial, since I get the impression you use a lot of it", he said. "I actually was, once in one", she said and told him about it. KERCHOO! HUPSHOO! ATCHOO! She blew her dippy, blocked nose thickly and wetly into a clump of Kleenex and kept doing so until she felt clear. It took 15 soggy Kleenex to empty her nose. "I'd like to get to know you better", he told her and gave her his phone number. And they went their separate ways for the rest of their time at the celebration

Cassie woke up with a sinus headache. I can feel how the pollen count is today, she thought. Sky high. KERCHOO! She got a handful of Kleenex and blew her runny nose vigorously, wet honk after wet honk until the Kleenexes were glued together with allergic snot before she felt any relief from the wall of congestion. Caitlin heard her sister blowing and said "Allergies again?", which proved to be correct by Cassie's sneezing fit. KATCHOO! HUPSHOO! ATCHOO! ESHOO!
HECHOO! ARSHOO! KITCHOO! ASHOO! I was right, she thought. That was allergy sneezes. Cassie muttered, "By dose is all blocked ad leaky ad besides, I got allergy eyes." She blew her nose into a wad of Kleenex with a loud, soggy gurgle, blowing and blowing until her head no longer felt ready to explode from congestion. HEGSHOO! The stuffiness returned and she blew her snotty nose prodigiously into a clump of Kleenex until it was mulch. She got a new clump and blew some more, repeating until she filled 15 Kleenexes and cleared her sinuses. HIKSHOO! The congestion returned and she blew her drippy, blocked nose vigorously into a wad of Kleenex, a long, loud, wet and very gurgly blow.  The allergic mucus poured from her nose. I love blowing my nose, but not so the allergy eyes, she thought. She sneezed and blew her nose all morning.
