CHARACTERS:
Mom, Dad, Daughter, Dale (Chiropractor friend)
SETTING:
Mom and dad are shopping in Costco. Get a call from their daughter.
MOM: You what?!?!?!?!
DAUGHTER; Well, I was laying down and chewing on a bobby pin and I accidentally breathed it in.
MOM: Hang on, I’m going to text Dale and see what he thinks you should do.
DAUGHTER: Mom, I’m fine, really. My throat is a little sore but I think I’m okay.
MOM: I’ll call you right back. Going to check in with Dale.
Mom texts Dale details.
DALE: Well, kids have swallowed worse. She can go to the ER but I think they’ll tell her to take a laxative and poop it out. The most important thing to tell her is that when she passes the bobby that it is not re-usable!
MOM: LOL! Got it. Thanks Dale!
Dad googles “what to do if you swallow a bobby pin.”
DAD: She’s gotta go the ER. Says here bobby pin can lacerate intestines, or puncture something. Tell her she’s gotta go NOW!
Mom calls her daughter again.
MOM: Hon, you gotta go to the ER and see what they say.
Daughter goes to ER and they take an xray. Bobby pin is in her intestines. Doc tells her to go home and take a laxative. Parents are relieved. Two hours later, daughter texts the following picture. Bobby pin about half way down spine. Two weeks later, out in her poop…:)
