What the wierdest thing you OR your child have eaten?? I just got to thinking about this when today I was standing next to my daughter watching her color. The phone rang, I answered it, Talked for MAYBE 2 or 3 minutes, and when I hung up she turned to me and announced "I just swallowed the marker cap!" Ok she's 4, I know she wasn't trying to eat it when I answered the phone. From what I can gather she was just chewing on it while coloring and according to her it when down sideways. It's about 1/3 of an inch in diameter and 2 inches long. Its smooth and bends somewhat. I called the Dr's office and they said to just watch her for 2-3 days until it should be through her system. I asked her if it hurt. She said "Just a little." and went back to coloring like nothing had happened. She got some hiccups minutes later but eating some soft bread calmed them down within a couple bites.

I know as a kid my Mom tells me a large button showed up in my diaper. Supposedly Hubby ate a quarter once as an infant. Neither of us swallowed something when we were older. Nor did either of us get peas stuck in our noses or some such oddity.

Any odd items you got stuck and a child? Or did you swallow something on accident or on purpose??
