JFF - You Ate What?!?!

My oldest ate a Robin's egg... yes a real Robin, the birds, egg that was on the ground.

It was shortly after Easter and he thought it was one of those blue candy Robin eggs that got dropped...

I was laughing so hard through my gags as he was desperatly trying to wash his mouth out. It would be one thing if he was little... but he was 12.

I once had to call poison control because my daughter drank a small bottle of jasmine oil. Fortunately, it wasn't anything serious, but the entire time I was on the phone she was screaming that I took her "juice". Between her breath, her poop and the gas it gave her she smelled like jasmine for a few days.

my nephew ate playdoh a few different colors, pooped a rainbow.

When his dad was a toddler, my husband and a cousin told him the sandbox was full of sugar, yum yum. MIL was sooo mad, but my Dh loves to tell that story.

I posted this a few months ago, but I'll share it again.

When my son was about 18 months old, I gave him grapes, cut in half. He LOVED them!! Gobbled them right up and we were all thrilled to finally find a fruit he’d eat. (Kid hated fruit) So after the woo hoos and hugs for eating like such a big boy, off he went while I congratulated myself on my “mommy skills”. The next morning, we had diaper blow out! Ick running to the ankles kinda blow out!...when I opened the diaper there were about 18 to 2 dozen half grapes swimming in all that ick. He had swallowed them all whole. I wrapped up the diaper, dropped it in the almost full garbage can and ushered my sweet boy off to the bathtub where we splashed away all that mess. I got him out, dried him off, and while I wiped up the floor he wandered out of the bathroom. When I was done, he wasn’t in the living room or his bedroom? Not in the kitchen? And then I found him; squatted down in the laundry room with that diaper spread out in front of him, shoveling grapes into his mouth as fast as he could, up to his elbows in all that poop....AAAUURGH! I let out a scream, scooped him up and rushed off to sanitize my befouled child yet again!

When teeth were thoroughly brushed and he was again poop-free, I took the garbage out, and cleaned the mess up off the laundry room floor. With Nick Jr. on the television and a pop tart gripped firmly in one little hand, I left my son on the couch to go clean up the bathroom again.

That finished, I went to check on the “little angel”...not in the living room? Bedroom? Kitchen? No, no, no....where was he? He was digging the grapes that he stashed in the laundry basket out for yet another snack!

Longest morning of my life!

When my son was almost 3, and potty training, we were out to dinner and my husband must have taken him to the men's room a dozen times (he thought the urinals were way cool!), so I offered to take him the next time he said he had to pee. Took him into the ladies room, he peed a drop, I held him up to the sink to wash his hands and I heard a "SLURPPP" sound.
Yes.
He licked the sink.
In a public restroom.
At a restaurant .
And lived.
((Silent scream!!))

Ya know I am probably not the person to answer this. My kids ate pea gravel and I just didn't care. Makes for some rather interesting poop. They would be out back playing happily with their trucks, I turn my back for a sec and they would snack.

I think they had a go at crayons once. I can't remember everything. They lived, all that really matters in the end. :)

How could I forget dog food!! My kids had the shiniest coat on the block! :)

a cat turd.
:(

Dog poop. My daughter will put anything in her mouth, so we were playing in the yard and I turned around and she had taken a bite of an old poop. "Nummy!" She told me when I shrieked.

The kicker? She WON'T eat my home-cooking. :-p

Our toddler eats UGOs (unidentified ground objects). He will sample anything if you don't watch him closely enough. I thought we had moved beyond this practice after our male pug died (he was notorious for this behavior) but I suppose our toddler didn't want us to forget our beloved pug quite yet.

My 8 mo old loves dog food - first found it in her poop before I realized she was eating it (I've since rectified the situation). She's always got paper in her mouth. You know those plastic things that connect the tags to your clothes, found that in her poop. Good thing i'm not up for mom of the year.

Buggers. My son told me once the slimey ones are not good, but he likes the crunchy ones.

My daughter is an UGO eater too!!
Doesn't matter what it is, if it's on the ground its FOOD!

She chews on crayons, pencils, books etc
My oldest son never really ate anything TOO weird. The usual kid stuff, fuzz, floor food, crayons, paint etc

I think the weirdest was my daughter. She had a huge cut on her little thumb from sucking on it too much. So i Put a bandaid on it. After a few mins I noticed it was gone. I looked EVERYWHERE for it!
After about 3 days I found it...in her diaper.

OMG the one from Kozmoma got me! I'm laughing so hard, I'm crying! I would absolutely vomit if my kid did that!

Our worst was just after dd got good at crawling... maybe 9 months? Anyways, she had disappeared into her room and came out happily chewing on something. I opened her mouth to see what it was and it looked like cat food. I scooped it out quickly then asked myself where she got cat food in her bedroom--so I went to check it out. Well, it pretty much WAS catfood--that the cat had eaten and thrown up! I was gagging and rinsing her mouth out like a crazy person!

My neighbor bit into a tick when she was little. A big engorged deer tick. Ugh, just thinking about it makes me a bit sick and it's been 20 years...

A metal marble. Till we got new phone service, I used to have the picture of the xray of it sitting in his pelvis just inches away from "freedom".

Eeeeew!

OMG, I read these and LOL'd and nearly gagged at a few!

Hunter swallowed a magnetic marble. Taylor ate cat food.

When I was a kid, I thought dog biscuits were quite tasty.

*Shudder* I am considering myself EXTREMELY lucky that my DD's worst one is crayons. lol.

Although, I did catch my little brother chowing down on 3 day-old horse afterbirth when he was 2.... UUUUGH!!!!! (My dad's horse foaled, and he got distracted during the cleanup so the afterbirth only made it as far as the 'nasty' bucket... which brother found...)

a slimey red gummy bear on the floor of the rec center bathroom.

Another kids vomit (he was one and curious i guess)

those are the two standouts that I can think of, there are the normal play doh, crayons etc but those two made me gag.

All 4 of my kids have eaten crayons, and all 4 have eaten cat and/or dog food. (crunch, crunch). My oldest was the WORST about eating stuff, and he ate bugs several times, plants (several calls to poison control over that) he was a shirt, pencil, pen, paper chewer - and at age 11 I called poison control because he was chewing on....wait for it.... a tube of super glue which popped open in his mouth, mildly burning his throat, mouth and sinuses. ARGH!

while walking through the neighborhood with my 3 yr old son, we passed a house that had a bench sitting in the front yard.. it was a bit wet due to rain the night before. He ran up and licked it... bird poo and all! Then on the way home, he found a puddle in the parking lot, stuck his hand in it, and then licked his hand. Not a little lick either, like a full blown slurp. I could see some shiny oil and stuff in the puddle and everything. I hollered for him to stop and he looks at me and smiles and say "delicious"! Thats the same thing he says when I try to get him to stop drinking bath water... LOL.

When my oldest was little he liked to put rocks in his mouth. He didn't swallow them, but more like sucked on them. It was weird. Anyway...one day he came in from outside with a mouthful and I held out my hand and said "spit them out", and he did. Unfortunately it was not a mouthful of rocks but goat poop that looked like little pebble rocks! EWWW!

When I was a kid we were fishing and my brother comes over to me and says "no wonder why the fish aren't biting, these things taste terrible!". He had taste-tested the red fish eggs!!!!!

4 kids here.....

Well, my kids have eaten crayons... that makes for a colorful poop...

Daughter #2, when she was about a year old, we were all out back working in the garden....I turned around, and she had dirt all around her mouth! Yep... eating dirt...

Sand, also, I'm sure......

And... ::cringe:: .... I've found insect parts in the diapers, too... they found creepy crawlies to eat! Yum! Extra protein, I guess....

They are all healthy and happy adults, now ages 20 to almost 30.....

On a side note.. daughter #2 lives in Seoul, Korea... and somewhat willingly ate boiled silkworm larvae! (Beondegi... an 'old time' common food....) I say somewhat willingly... she told the first pastor she worked for that she would try anything, once... so he took her out to dinner after their first day of teaching, and part of the dinner plate included beondegi!

Dog poop. Yes my child ate dog poop, right off the bottom of my husbands shoe. We had to call poison control, they said it would probably be okay. And he is, but it was gross. He also ate almost a whole tube of diaper cream.

J. food on the ground for my kid.......you should do another with what gross has your kid touched lol i have many of those

My youngest used to put just about everything in her mouth. But as far as I can tell, the only things she ever swallowed were pea gravel (which she seemed to enjoy "gumming" while she was teething, so there might be a product idea in that...hmm...), and the mini nuts and bolts from the IKEA dvd storage boxes. How she got them unscrewed, I will never know.

My second has eaten a fair amount of dirt/mud. So her licking the sand at the beach shouldn't have surprised me. It didn't... the first time. The second time she licked the beach did surprise me, though. Ick.

Hair gel, lotion, paper, things left on the dirty dishes in the sink, soap (Used as a breath freshener. He snuck out of bed in the middle of the night and ate something sweet. Then he worried that in the morning I would smell it on his breath, but he thought brushing his teeth would be noisy enough that I would know he was out of bed. So squirted hand soap into his mouth.) Dishwasher soap, crayons, mud, glue, grass, ABC gum from the parking lot. I have one who frequently sucks on rocks. I swear I feed these people balanced meals and give them vitamins!

My kids haven't eaten anything weird besides small pieces of paper. The mind of a child, what a mysterious place!!
