Bathwater. OMG it made him so sick!!! I had the pediatrician at the hospital tell him DON'T DRINK THE BATHWATER. (This was an old Chinese man, and honestly I think he was trying not to burst out laughing when he told DS this. It was on Thanksgiving Day whenever maybe DS was almost 2 at the time.)
There was also the time he LICKED the main downtown street. He was mad that I wasn't getting him an ice cream right there and then and he got down on the ground and licked the street. Good times.
After he turned 10 or so he has been a dream child ever since. Just getting to that point was impossible!

Wow, my kids hardly ever put anything they weren't supposed to in their mouths. I guess I got lucky.
The only thing I do remember is feeling DS1 who must have been about 3 yo at the time a PBJ sandwich for lunch. He didn't finish it so I threw it in the trash (which we always left out in the kitchen since no one had ever bothered it). I turned around and DS2 who had just started walking so 15 months-ish had pulled the leftover sandwich out of the trash and was happily munching away on it. This was when we were told no peanut butter before age 2 (which I think has changed now). I remember thinking that at least I don't have to worry about him being allergic to it now. And thankfully there wasn't anything gross under the sandwich in the trash...

My DS who was 2-3 years old put a small jingle bell up his nose. My DH used the tweezers to get it out. As he was removing it, the bell dropped and my DS swallowed it! I asked him why he put that up his nose and he said- "I just wanted to jingle". HA!

My youngest broke a glow stick and had that glowing liquid all over his mouth. I freaked out and called poison control but as I was calling saw that the package said non-toxic. Poison control was super helpful and said to make sure no plastic was ingested.

I asked him why he put that up his nose and he said- "I just wanted to jingle". HA! I love that! My nephew put a green olive up his nose. Several days later my sister noticed his face smelled putrid and took him to the pediatrician, who removed the olive.

When my daughter was crawling age she sucked all of the glitter off of a christmas ornament. It happened while my sister was watching her and she forgot to tell me about it. The next morning when I changed her diaper I opened it and it looked like someone had dumped a bottle of glitter in her poop. I called my sister to ask what the hell happened and all she could do was laugh. This is so funny, and perfect for holiday-themed poop.

I guess we were lucky, I can't recall DS eating anything. Me, on the other hand, got into a pile of dog poop when I was about 2 1/2 and my dad was babysitting for me and my sister. He was teaching her to roller skate, saw the poop and thought to himself *I need to clean that up* right as my sister fell. Oops. When I was older he told us that he gagged the entire time he was bathing me to clean me up. He didn't know how much I ate but it was coming out of my mouth, my ears and nose like I had smeared it everywhere. It was the family joke for a long time. Aren't family memories swell?

Nothing with my DD, thank God she is so tame! But when my mom was little she swallowed a roller skate key that got lodged in her throat. This was in the late 1920's and not much could be done so the dr. sent her home with my grandma. Later that day grandma was making bread and my mom wanted some of the dough to play with. She stuck it in her mouth and swallowed that too, and because the key was lodged in there she started to choke. But because the dough was stretchy, someone was somehow able to grab the end of it and when they yanked it out--along came the key!! Crisis averted!

I think the better question is what doesn't your child eat? Pens, pencils, markers, rocks, table salt, chapstick, tiny jingle bells, pencil top eraser, colored pencils, paper towels, paper, one too gross to mention, vicks vapo rub (yes I called poison control), small balls, dirt, sand,....
No wonder he's always constipated.

We were at a resturant, and I noticed my DS was chewing gum. I hadn't given him any, so I asked where he got it. He pointed to under the table!!

DD, who is 3 now, ate a live spider--about a inch long--when she was between a year and 18 months old. It happened SO fast. I just about died.
Some of these are hilarious! And really, really nasty. The kidney stone, for some reason, is grossing me out the most, haha!

When he was little, my older brother put an m&m candy up his nose. Being this was her first kid, my Mom panicked and called the dr. He advised her to wait until it melted.

Pt he day after Halloween in middle school my niece was given the choice Fter the bell rang to spit the gum ball out or swallow it. She decided to swallow it. Nothing could dislodge it, by the time EMS came she was blue, by the time they got her to hospital it had melted. School changed it's policy on giving option to swallow.
My daughter was around 1. My mom had her for a few hours. Later that night I'm changing her diaper and it's the reddest version of poop ever. I freak, I'm crying, I call mom and ask her if she'll go to ER with me as my husband was out of town. She starts laughing at me. She had fed my kid pickled beats, and not told me. Grrr.

Nothing. I couldn't even get my son to eat actual food most of the time, let alone inedible items.

My middle dd had a tea party complete with water out of the toilet. And the youngest last year ate those beetles that look like lady bugs. Even now, when I tell my older girls that something was so good even the baby ate it, they say "but mom she'll eat anything even lady bugs". .

When my son was about 8 months old I found him sitting under the piano, his face covered in what I thought was chocolate. Nope, not chocolate. It was dry dog poo that he was chewing on. I have no idea why the dog had done a poo inside, he'd never done it before or since.
