A toddler has stuck his finger so far up his nose that he has restored himself to factory settings, it’s emerged.

The incident occurred yesterday when Toby Hoffman went digging for green gold up his nasal cavity. His mother was there to witness the incident.

“He’s always been a nose-picker but he usually stops at the end of the tip of his finger. He went knuckle-deep this time though and his eyes started blinking rapidly. I asked him if he was okay and he didn’t respond. Then I asked him if he wanted to watch ‘Cocomelon’ and he still didn’t answer me, that’s when I knew something was wrong,” she told us.

Toby’s mother knew she needed help. Her first search lead her to Prince Andrew after an unfortunate typo. After correcting the typo, she found a local paediatrician to take a look at Toby.

The doctor confirmed that Toby has dug so deep into his nose that he’d pressed his factory reset button.

The reset means that Toby now no longer remembers any of his upbringing or even his name.

As his mother told us, “It’s an excellent opportunity for me to correct the mistake of calling him Toby.”
