Gross/Bad/Good News Everyone!

Our sweet little innocent girl found a dime on the ground Saturday night while we were at Wal-Mart. While she was playing with it, all of a sudden she said "MOMMY MOMMY" pointing in her mouth, "THE MONEY, THE MONEY" and i said "Penny, did you swallow the dime" and she said "DIME IN MY TUMMY" WHAT! I panicked for a few seconds. What do you do when your child swallows a coin? So, when we came home i looked on the Internet. Which was not very helpful, it just made me more paranoid and grateful that she didn't swallow a toy or something larger! SO, approximately 41 hours later the dime was digested .


Here are two pictures of the cleaned off dime ;) We will put these pictures in her SCRAP book! The Dime was a shiny silver color before she swallowed it. Yikes! The acid in her system definitely changed the coloring on the coin. Moral of this story 'Do not ever let your children play with coins' Even if they should be older and wiser, they just may swallow the money! Then you will have the gross responsibility of waiting and looking for the processed coin.


P.S You will think twice now about where your money has been, where it has come from.. . .. Sorry, that is a gross thought! I will stop blogging now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ewwwwwwwwwwww! Did you have to say that about money and where it's been? I can't think about that.

What are you going to do with the dime? Don't put it into circulation. Keep that for yourself.

Staci,
It's amazing any of us survived our childhood. I swallowed a nickel once when I was little but didn't dare tell anyone. What was I thinking putting that germ infested thing in my mouth.
