Eating Money

My daughter was at a bar with her mom and her boyfriend, swallowed two quarters, began choking and the paramedics had to be called. I know that sounds awful so let me clear it up. The bar is the one her moms boyfriend works at, it was closed, and her mom gets paid to clean it every afternoon.

Kiddo has never done anything this crazy before so I am wondering how she got the idea. Her mom said she saw the quarters go into her mouth and the next thing she knew she is choking. One got all the way down and the other lodged in her throat. Kiddos mom yelled for her bf and called 911 and he got the one she way choking on out, and a cook in the back did the heimlich and Clare threw the other coin up. Then the fire department showed up and checked her out. Kiddo is completely traumatized by the entire incident. She is almost three and talks about everything. When I dropped her off at her moms the other day the first thing she said to her was, "Momma, I was bad. I throwed a fit and I was bad." Pretty much what happened. I asked her what happened today and she asked me not to ask her about it!

It really scared her mom. She called me right after it happened and you could tell she was upset. She signed up for a CPR class at the Red Cross and encouraged me to do the same. I think I will also, you never know when it will come in handy! The funny part is when I put her pajamas on last night I found a quarter in the pocket of the jean skirt she was wearing!

Headed to a wedding for the weekend. Have a good one!
