LOL....the nickname will NOT ruin her!!!!

We call our youngest "Booty" because when he first started walking he would rip his diaper off and run through the house smacking himself on the rear end squealing "booty booty booty". OMG if that hasn't ruined him (and he is a well adjusted 7 y/o) nothing can!!!!

Yeah, I intentionally mess with thier self esteem.

Like who would do that? I don't want to know.

you never know...there had to be some person who tried to use preperation H "internally"...so they had to put the warning on the tube "for external use only"

Over thanksgiving we had a family get together at my grams! And I noticed something in my little cuzs ear and when we got it out it was a plastic piece out of one of those pencils that you take switch it from one end when its used up and push it in the other end to get a new one with lead in it. Anyway he said it was in there for 2 days he did it a school! I couldn't help but laugh! I swear that boy is always doing something dumb!

I have a variation of the same story. Got to daycare after work and the care-givers were nervous wrecks. My oldest had shoved a pebble up her nose (3 years old). They had her blow repeatedly and it wouldn't come out. They thought maybe she'd need to go to the ER.
Didn't have much $, her father was at work and could NOT leave. I didin't know what to do. I'd already tried everything I could think of. I started to drive to the ER, thought of the cost, and pulled over to the side of the road. I sat there for a minute, staring at my hands on the steering wheel. Back then I only had one nail that would ever grow long on each hand, my pinkie fingers. And the one on the right curved when it got long, making it perfect for scooping up seed beads when I was doing beadwork.
I was so nervous I was trembling when I turned around and told DD1 to lean back in her car seat. I reached out and scooped that pebble out with my bead-scooping pinkie fingernail.

I couldn't drive for a few minutes. The adrenaline, the relief, and the sheer idiocy of picking my daughter's nose totally undid me. To this day the saying, "You can pick your friends, you can pick you nose, but you can't pick your friends nose" sends me into gales of hysterical laughter. Someone questioned that laugther once and I tried to tell them it was an inside joke, but even that made me laugh so hard I couldn't speak.

DD1 HATES this story....

All four of my older sisters and my brother carried bobby bins in their pockets when I was little. It was for digging all the things I insisted on putting in my nose, ears and other orifices out.
I grew up normal - sort of.
My daughter ate her way thru a kitty litter box one day. She's sort of normal too.

I hope no one from Child Protective Services is reading this thread! All you guys would be getting turned in!

(And the fact that my little girl, when she was 1, swallowed a penny and had it get stuck in her esophagus and had to have it surgically removed, has nothing to do with anything!)
