things babies eat

For the record.... Rangers don't eat roaches.

My friend's baby ate a sewing pin once.  Xrays showed that it was making its way head first through the baby's system.  She passed it the next day with no problems. 

We've been fortunate enough to not have our babies eat anything too bad, but I did have a lab that ate everything it could fit into its mouth.  I once found one of my son's socks that had passed through it in one piece.  And that was just the tip of the iceberg.

It's not the quarter that should cause concern, it's when they crap out 2 dimes and a nickle 

So far we've avoided the eating of strange objects.

Classic. 

When my sister and I were kids, we played something we called "Spinach Factory". We'd pick these weeds that we knew by the name of "mustard weed", but who knows what they actually were. We'd put them in a jar with water and leave them on a shelf in the garage for a month or two in the middle of the summer.

When we pulled them off the shelf and pulled out the weeds, they were just like spinach! Hey! We wouldn't eat that, we'd throw it away. We would however, drink all of the leftover water. Uhhhh, yeah. I'm sure there was some reason we liked that game so much and it probably had to do with the spinach water making you feel a little funny...

My middle child, (daughter now 15yrs) used to snack on the dry dog food...no, wait a minute... she would grab a handfull and crawl to the bathroom, where she would drop it in the toilet to let the little nuggets swell up and get soft, then stuff several in her mouth. Oh yeah.

Also, my son (now 14) during his second Christmas, developed a taste for tinsel off the tree - now, I know what you're thinking - it wasn't our tree, but my dumb-a$$ in laws, and the little gaffer was passing tinsel in his diaper for over a week. We were afraid he's develop a bowel obstruction from it, but all was well...and merry...and very, very shiny!

Yes, my sister and I were heavy drinkers from a young age. I'll tell you about the magic puddle someday....

I'm still kinda pissed you changed your avatar.

I have a sister who, when she was a baby, put a paint brush soaked in turpentine in her mouth. 

Now - what have your kids put up your nose?

Hey!
