gross baby

[same_sky]

Yesterday, I pulled a beetle out of my child's mouth. It was unspeakably gross, and yet, not so gross as it would have been mere seconds later. I saw her put something in her mouth and flew across the room to intervene, and thus, the bug was whole and unchewed. I cannot even imagine the revulsion caused by removing it in pieces. Seriously, I can't get her to eat zucchini bread but she will eat a bug? Kids are really, really dopey.

M vacuumed today. Perhaps we will not have a repeat of this episode.

Reminds me of the time my friend's daughter put a snail in her mouth while they were on a walk. So French of her, although where is it that they eat beetles?

I don't even want to know. I wasn't even sure it was a beetle at all. I was calling it a bug that "looked kinda like a little beetle or something" until she kept bringing me a 123 counting book that has seven different beetles in it yesterday, and one of them was clearly like the one she had tried to eat. Maybe she thought it looked tasty in the book? ;)

lol... you are a quick mama! I ate 1/2 a slug when I was her age. To this day I cannot eat squishy things (mushrooms, eggplant, etc) You saved her from a life time of food issues. ;^)

Ewww. Slugs would be worse. That is so gross. :)

Ewwwww! Blech! Gross! I think I would have thrown up right after I got it out.

Yeah, it was pretty gross. I already had it pulled out (and so blessedly whole) before I figured out what it was.. that all helped. I was too busy running her into the bathroom to wash her mouth out--yeah, I know that wouldn't really help but it made ME feel better--to give in to the temptation to hurl. ;)
