Today, for the 5th day in a row, I had to keep my 7-year-old home from school and search his poop because he "forgot" he's not supposed to swallow things like, in this case, a screw that fell off his scooter. FML

So your kid swallows while your wife doesn't?

What else was he supposed to do with a delicious screw if not eat it?

A beautiful mind... That our you're not feeding him. No that gluten free, sugar free, mega organic bull is not food.

I put this comment through my Idiot-to-English Translation Engine, and it just said "Uh...what?"

Man, your Idiot-to-English Translation Engine sucks! Mine says...hmm...it also says "Uh...what?". Damn.

Uhhh, yes, because the sugar and chemical compound loaded items you seem to eat, are?

My tongue was firmly in my cheek when I made that comment.

What ISN'T a "chemical compound"? Are you telling me vegetation doesn't have "chemical compounds" in them, oh you're one of those ignorant if it's "natural" it must be better for you people. Some of the time the option with MORE sugar is the natural one since artificial sweeteners are sweeter they can use less... It's just the fiber in the foods themselves help to decrease the negative impact. So it all comes down to portion control and balance.

If he finds it he'll just re-eat it... O.o

I would make him search his own poop. Maybe it will help him to not "forget" to eat stuff like that.

Maybe he has problems at school? Kids his age don't know how to express themselves, so they channel their negative feelings to something else, like eating things that are not edible. This condition actually has a medical name, but I can't remember it.

You couldn't splurge the $1.50 for a new screw?

That kid is a genius. He figured out at age 7 that he can stay home from school if he swallows small objects. I tip my hat to that kid.

So why are you looking in his poop?

It's called Pica and tends to have to do with severe anemia....doctor??
