Marshall ate a penny today. Silly kid was sitting there sucking on the thing and he accidentally swallowed it. You should have heard him howl afterward! He was convinced that it was going to make him sick. “Oh, I have to go the doctor!” he wailed.
I was remarkably calm, because I figured that a penny would simply pass right through him, no problem. I did, however, call the doctor’s office, just to be sure. They concurred. As long as he continues eating and doesn’t complain about a tummy ache within the next few days, there’s no reason to worry.
But how many times have I told him not to put anything but food in his mouth? Oy! It’s like talking to a wall!
