No, but I have seen men with tape recorders up their noses.
The lego's have been locked up for now.
What size Lego was it?
A moose once Lego'd my sister...
The son of a friend of mine once stuck a pinto bean up his nose, and didn't tell anybody about it until it came back out about a week after he'd done it. IIRC, he was four, also.
My older sister did this same thing to my younger sister back in the 60's - fortunately, surgery wasn't necessary to remove the mis-placed Lego ... but it sure had my parents worried. They took my younger sister to the Army pediatrician, who got the lego removed from her nose. We talked about that for years afterward ....
No, but I have seen men with tape recorders up their noses.
They did surgery of some kind. Then he did it again.
No, but when I was around 4, I was lying on the floor holding a glass marble in the air and dropped it. It rolled straight down my throat and I swallowed it.
Poor kid, and poor you! When I was a kid I watched my brother take a flying leap off the roof of our house in his Superman cape. He looked so cool -- he had the Superman flying pose down to an art. The look on his face when the cape obeyed the laws of gravity was priceless. Two broken arms, and I used to tell this story to all his high school girlfriends.
When my son was 2, he stuck a cherry pit up his nostril. Everyone panicked except him. He was too young to know how to blow his nose so we had to wait awhile for it to work it's way out. :-)
I'm glad your son is okay!
There are plenty of FReepers who keep getting their foot stuck in their mouth, or have their head stuck in their...
Your poor boy!
My daughter stuck a bead up her nose when she was 2. I got it out with a pair of tweezers.
Eh, it's a long story.
What hasn't gone up my nose??
As an AFOL, I wouldn't let my children put my precious Lego Bricks up their noses.
When my son was 3, he fell while running with plastic sunglasses, and got a cut. We went to the hospital (insurance) and the decided to glue the cut shut -- it was new for them.
As they glued, the doctor didn't hold his hand on her side, and he swiped the glue and rubbed his eye, gluing his eyelid shut. Three-year-olds don't understand why they suddenly can't see out of one eye.
They had to put him under to unglue him. 3 specialists, and an hour later, they had dissolved the glue, but we were picking glue out of his eyebrows for the next month.
When he was around two, my son figured out how to remove the childproof caps off the electric outlets. He would then jam metal knives and forks into the outlet in his room. We had hook and eye locks on every door in the house, a baby gate into the kitchen, but he managed to wreak destruction.
I had two older girls, and neither of them thought of pulling out the lower drawers to get into mischief. By the time that boy was in bed, I was crawling on my hands and knees from exhaustion.
Another one was where he set the backyard on fire. My oldest was playing leapgrog and ate cement. Chipped front tooth, and bottom teeth went through her lower lip. Took her to Kaiser Permanente(unfortunately our insurance at the time), and they called the cops. Luckily, Lisa's mom watched it happen, and told me before I took the kid to the emergency room, that they'd call the cops and she would be a witness. I was pregnant with the boy when that happened.
I can happily say that none of the kids ever shoved something up their nose. Looking for change in the toilet, is another issue.
Poor kid! I bet he doesn't do that again!
I once swallowed a penny, but that's nothing compared to this.
We probably should have been more concerned about it than we were since some of them have a toxic zinc core.
My nephew at 3 years old had a habit of sticking breakfast cereals up his nose.
I advised my sister to buy Honey Comb cereal. It worked. It didn't fit. Too big.
