Today we had to take my middle boy for surgery.
Seems my 4 y/o decided to stuff a lego up his left nostril. I could not fish it out, our peditrician couldn't fish it out, so surgery was the only option.
I guess it only is fair, as a 4 y/o I managed to plug my left ear with a piece of popcorn, that once swelled looked like a tumor.
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!
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.
No one has mentioned the song?

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 : )
Lol! When did your mom's hair start going gray???
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.
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 25 yr. old son stuck a stone up his nose and to this day he SWEARS it's still there.
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.
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.
Hang tough..
Try a Magic Eraser on it. Then cry.
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.
