My son when he was 2 and 1/2 came to me and kept doing a fake sneeze. I thought. I got a kleenx form him and when I grabbed his now I notice one nostril was harder than the other. Well I had but his head back and could see something there. I got some tweezers to get it out, which was not easy with a two year old. :/ Low and behold it was one of those little computer screws!! Then his dad finally realized he shouldn't have the kid around while working on the computer. DUH!!

Aawwwww....he's a cutie!

I'm glad his nose is now a lego-free zone, and will probably remain that way!

When my Dad was four and his brother was seven they were on the train. This was back in the dark ages when you could open train windows. The train was just pulling out of the station and going quite slow. The older boy took off his shoes and set them on the floor. The younger one promptly threw the shoes out the window. The older boy picked up the younger and threw him out the window. Kids.

ROTFLMAO! Enjoy:

Back in preschool they had "bean tables" (like water tables, but without the mess) where kids could play. Well, the teacher had told me, "everything I say goes in one ear and out the other!" So I conducted an experiment. I stuck a bean in my ear thinking it would fall out the other ear!

The school called my mother and she took me to the hospital. She banged on the side of me head in front of the nurse and it fell out! Mom was not happy...

...Twenty plus years later and still getting laughed at for that one.

As a child, my husbands uncle, long deceased, is said to have stuffed beans up his nose, where they sprouted.

I had forgotten all about the fire setting, until recently. Had an awful bout of bronchitis at the time, and the youngest had head lice, the oldest at home skipped out of the house, and it was a mess. I went back to work early, because it was more peaceful....

Small coins usually pass without any trouble, but the first time it happens, you're calling the emergency room in a panic : )

Hmmmm.....When I was 2 I got ahold of a Vaseline jar. Spread it on the wall, the crib, rubbed it in my hair and my brothers hair and somehow also got the family pet. All from my crib. My Mother loves to share that one. Oh, and once, I ate a cigarrette butt.

My brother and I took my moms yarn and proceeded to make a giant spider web in our room. It criss crossed the entire room from floor to ceiling. I think my mom had to cut her way into the room to get to us--and she was not happy.

We made a swimming pool out of our play table in the bedroom. It had a 1 inch lip on it. Pretty tame stunt.

My youngest brother was found by my father sitting in the middle of a mountain of unstrung music cassettes. Of course, I don't remember but I suppose he had some help.

My brother Jeff hid my glasses under the stair well closet. I was blind as a bat and Mom was definitely NOT happy. I have been wearing glasses since I was 2. I was pretty little when that happened.

Lets see...oh yah. We tried to dig a hole to china. Till Mom caught us. Then my genius of a brother found a board covered the hole, then covered the board with dirt. We continued to dig. We got the hole deep enough that 2 of us could get in the hole and pull the board over our heads.

We used to take a toboggan and ride it down our stairs. Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump.....BOOOOOMMMM!!! as we crashed into our front door. Our apartment neighbors loved us. LOL

My sister choked on a plastic cherry from the "Hi Ho Cherrio" game. My mom hung her upside down by her feet until she spit the cherry out. We had been storing our cherries in our mouths while we played the game.

I now have 2 little boys ages 4 and 6. So far the biggest thing my kids have done is put play dough on the tv remote and I couldn't get it off.

When we were six, I was playing with my cousin and he stuck a drum stick in his ear for some reason. Punctured his eardrum.

She banged on the side of me head in front of the nurse and it fell out!

I'm still laughing about that one.

One would figure that banging would actually have the opposite reaction of lodging things deeper (Physics). Unless she banged on the down side.

ROFLMBO... I think I would of squirted it out is my mom banged like that on me.

My 3 year old stuck a decent chunk of blue playdoh up his nostril once. He came to me crying with blue snot streaming out of his nose. Took about an hour to get it out - working his nose every five minutes and then letting the natural juices work the playdoh to where it would run out.

My third son, now three years old, has TWICE pulled the hold up stick out of the window and gotten his head slammed and pinned. He also has lost three of his top front teeth in a toy car accident.

My second oldest son smashed his toe in a window, not once but twice. Same window, same accident. I guess he forgot.

My oldest son once fell out of a tree, miraculously not killing himself. Seems they were playing "tree dodge ball" with a football. If he hadn't hit the large branch on the way down, which bruised his ribs and flipped him over, he may have hit hard enough to be killed or paralyzed.

Me? I set a couch on fire with matches when I was very young.

but there's just something about a nose that little kids are just compelled to stick things up 'em.

The following story was told to me by a co-worker; we were both in tears from laughing:

Her niece (age 4 or so) decided she wanted to take home the "adam's apple" from her cousin's "Operation" game, so she stuck it up her nose ... apparently it seemed like a really handy place to keep something hidden. No one knew about it at the time.

Later that night, at home, her dad playfully said "got your nose" and tried to grab it, and the little girl shrieked, "Don't touch my nose! I've got a toy in there!"

And for those who are curious, I believe they were able to get the apple out without too much trouble, fortunately.

I must be a horrible parent or just have very accident prone children. We'll start with my six year old:
At a year and a half he fell and hit his nose on an end table causing a scar across the top of his nose. Then at two he stuck the wheel to a hot wheels car up his nose. We took him to the emergency room. My sister had to hold him while the doctor pulled it out with what looked like a crochet hook. Then a year later he fell going up the ladder to a sliding board and cut the bottom of his nose causing him to get black stitches. He looked like Hitler! Then just a few months ago he was running to get off the bus, slipped on some gravel and cracked his head on the pavement. He blacked out and quit breathing for two minutes!

Now for the younger son who is 4. When he was two he swallowed a penny, we think on a dare from the older child. We had to root through his poop for a week before he passed it. He really enjoyed when the doctor used a hand-held metal detector. He'd giggle everytime it beeped at his belly. Less than a year later he and his brother were shoving each other at my dads barn. Well the older brother moved out of the way and he went careening into some corrugated metal siding, gashing his head open. Since he was too young for stitches he had to be glued. Then the other day, Sunday, he decided he was a big boy and didn't need to wait for the babysitter so he crossed the main road to the convenience store in our little quiet neighborhood to buy himself some candy. The babysitter found him two minutes later sitting on the store's outside bench eating a lollipop. It was our fault, she was talking to us on the phone about what a good boy he was being..... HUHUHUHUH.

Thanks for the laugh, I have a 4yo with a similar story. Only he chose a different orifice to insert a Lego. Although we have had a tic-tac in the nose. I guess it all goes with being 4.

I am not sure. But she was always telling us that we were going to drive her crazy. Oh, and it wasn't play dough on the remote it was silly putty.
