Starting the morning right - with a call to Poison Control
This morning got off to an exciting start when the Little Miss decided to swallow some hydrogen peroxide, prompting my call to Poison Control. So aside from some nausea, there shouldn't be any crazy side effects.
When Little B was younger, he managed to shove a ball of thread into his ear so far, his doctor told us we would just have to wait until it worked it's way out.
What crazy shit have your kids pulled?

Gah. Peroxide can make you bleed a little, iirc. How much did she swallow?

Hell, I'm not good in the morning, I hope my kids pull stuff like that later in the day.
I'm glad she's going to be okay. What brought that on?

wookie - she only swallowed a couple of teaspoons of the OTC stuff. In the US, OTC peroxide is diluted down to a 3% solution, otherwise, the effects could be a lot worse.
TM - Little B has tonsilitis, so I was letting him gargle with the stuff, since he knows to spit it out. The Little Miss has been claiming that her throat hurts too, so I let her gargle as well. For some reason, when she saw B spit it out, she swallowed her dose instead. It's more my fault for not making sure she knew to spit it out.

My husband gargles scotch when he has a sore throat. Maybe try that next time?

My brother stuck a raisin WAY far up his nose. It was a bloody mess getting it back out at the ER. The doc was worried that it could cause and abcess and kill him. I don't he's eaten raisins since.
GirlWho really hasn't done anything crazy like that. She just falls off stuff. She took a huge tumble during her Brownie investiture ceremony this week, in front of everyone. DW and I couldn't even get to her because the other parents got there first, which was nice. She was so embarrassed.

See it starts innocently at Playdoh in the nose.
then it's - First blood - fell out of laundry hamper *I* was pushing
and then it's - First break - at 2.5 off a slide
I'm not looking forward to teen driving, surfing and skateboarding years. Or perhaps I just start saving for the ER bills now.

My son also put a raisin up his nose when he was between 2 and 3. It was horrible! The thing re-hydrated while it was in there, and swelled back up to grape size. The pediatrician was horrified, she said she'd never pulled anything that large out of a nose before.

My sister swallowed a quarter when she was 3-4. She's lucky that it went down and didn't choke her, but Mom had to spend the next couple of weeks monitoring her, ahem, elimination to make sure it came out and that surgery wouldn't be necessary. Sis still has the quarter.

My son was 18 months old and drank bleach. Surprisingly, it wasn't harmful in the quanities he chugged down. Nor was the kitty litter, vagisil, or anything else one of my 3 have eaten.
My brother's expirence however, was a little more serious. One year we received Easter Baskets with those cheap, cheesy toys in them. My brother's toy was a mini pool table. He was mad that I kept removing the balls from the table so he hid them from me. In his pocket. Only, we were 4 & 6 and running around naked and he didn't have any pockets.
So I told my Mom he was lying. She then asked him where they were and he said again, "In my pocket." This time he clarified..."in the pocket God gave me." So, we spent Easter Sunday in the ER waiting for plastic mini-pool balls to come out of my brother's butt.
And yes, I totally told that story at his Wedding Rehearsal dinner!

BWAH! Why am I not surprised that your solution involves liquor? : D

Wasn't the solution to my question about when you mark off the days on the calendar? I'm sensing a theme.
