You're eating WHAT?

I was in the garden hanging clothes out to dry when i bent down to find what i thought was mud in my 17 months old mouth (he's now 2 1/2) it wasn't mud....it was dog poo, i got it out so fast and rinsed his mouth out and then started gaggin myself, i even feel like gagging remembering it!! I rang the hospital to check with tox base and apparently its harmless, i gave him treatment for worms just in case!!

We don't have a dog but my parents had had there dog over the weekend before.

While living in MI, we used to get inundated w/ orange ladybugs in the early fall. I was constantly running the vacuum sucking up the dead ones around the fireplace...needless to say DS grossed me out on a few occasions when I would find one in his mouth...the worst part was when I'd suddenly here an ever so faint crunch coming from his mouth ::
DD#1 while playing outside would find olive pits my in-laws had spat out and pick them up and chew on them...I was always harping on them to place them in a napkin!!!!!

I used to eat roly-polys....you know those little bugs that roll up in a ball when you flick 'em....my mom was sooo grossed out!

Michele, please tell me that in your avatar picture that that frog is all intact and none of it is in your mouth?!!!

i'll answer since she may or may not be on again soon (w/the new baby). it is a frog leg and she's blowing on it before eating it. We had discussion about it awhile ago when she changed the avatar.

The most disgusting thing I have seen my kid eat....

Ds2 was happily sitting on the floor with my shoe in his lap. I didn't even notice that he was eating anything until I saw him pick the gum out of the bottom of my shoe and put it in his mouth. I fully expected him to drop dead from some horrible disease. :disappointed:

Gag me with a spoon!

These are too funny!!!!

My second daughter ate goose poop and a dead worm the same day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She survived and is now a college student!

My kids don't seem to eat gross things - but they touch stuff and then put their hands in their mouths.

When we were in Alaska my girlfriend's daughter picked a mint up off the ground (we were in the mountains at a resort) and popped it in her mouth before we caught her.

Hey- I used to eat gum off the playground all the time and look how normal I am.....hahahahahaha.

(seriously, I did because we weren't allowed to have gum. A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do)
