    My aunt was a school nurse for many years. I heard lots of stories.

    She even had the kids of a guy who turned out to be a serial rapist/killer in Buffalo.

    My day started out being passed by a gentleman on a penny-farthing bicycle singing opera. I knew instantly it was going to be a good day.

    Edit to ask: How does one safely remove a swallowed spoon from a child?

    She had some of those, too. :-) Bills players and some of the Sabres' kids.

    They didn't know the guy was that guy when she had his kids in school. He'd been working the bike trail that went all through the city and suburbs for about 20 years before he finally got caught. It didn't even make national news!

    That would flip me out.

    Like a plastic spoon? I wonder if he has that "pica" syndrome. Weird.

    I do know that if your dog eats a glass Christmas ornament you're supposed to feed them cotton balls (soaked in something tasty so they'll eat it) and it binds and cushions the little pieces in their gut so they can poop or barf it safely.

    Good to know for dogs, but they are worried about it tearing/slicing his intestines and stomach lining. No PICA from what mom said. From what I know he loves getting himself in trouble, but I think he went a bit far this time.
