A mom has described how she was left in complete shock after discovering her 1-year-old son had been eating her father's ashes.
Up until recently, Natasha Emeny, from Lincolnshire in the U.K., had only ever posted lip-synching videos to her TikTok account. But that all changed after a spot of home improvement kick-started a dramatic chain of events.
"I had just moved some furniture the day before to have new flooring laid," Emeny told Newsweek. "I put my dad's ashes where I thought they would be safe, but I forgot to put them up somewhere high. I went to put some laundry upstairs and, by the time I came back down a few minutes later, he'd got them."
So I thought, 'Why not share and have a laugh about it?' My dad absolutely would be laughing about it."

Frankly...I don’t believe the story.
Maybe not so much if it was the dog eating the ashes.
This is a hoot, given the immediately preceding article posted.
How many one-year olds have you raised?
From what I hear, I probably would have figured out how to get in and chow down when I was the kid’s age. At least until Mom started mixing liberal doses of cayenne powder with various things that I was likely to stick in my mouth.
My favourite toy for a time was whatever gathered in a dent/hole in the kitchen floor.
The question I have is why were those ashes put where a toddler could get access to them. This sounds like absolute stupidity on her part or a mentally disturbed someone seeking attention.
My favorite part of this movie:

I wonder if the little guy's reaction was "I'd say grandpa tastes kind of like Starbucks."
But I have a wonderful letter that my mom wrote to my dad during WWII. "She had that look and I saw where the wallpaper was missing. I said "spit" and out it came."
Apparently my worst offense was when mom would put me on the front porch. Apparently, I liked to be free...and she wrote to my dad "the only thing she couldn't get off was one shoe and sock".
Pica
Completely staged. Upon that horrific discovery, you grab your phone and video it? Uh huh.
I know it’s against the rules, but read the freakin’ article.
“I put my dad’s ashes where I thought they would be safe, but I forgot to put them up somewhere high.”
I did read it. Suppose it was something poisonous.
“So I thought, ‘Why not share and have a laugh about it?’ My dad absolutely would be laughing about it.”
Some folks might consider it funny but many other folks might think it’s making light of something that could have been extremely dangerous.
Better than eating the old codger’s raw corpse.
Or a Gaboon viper. Get CPS to take that child.
Strange story but children get into all sorts of things.Not when they're being properly watched and things are put out of reach.
I imagine that if she had had arsenic she would have automatically treated it in a very different way.
When the diaper is changed.... voila!!
...or most any breakfast cereal.
