Most days I wear pants, pants with many pockets, and one of my favorite times of the day is when I return to my room after the kids' bedtime and empty my pockets. Throughout the day I inevitably come across kids who have trinkets trash that they shouldn't have, primarily because they'll put practically anything in their mouths.
One day's collection, observe:
Clockwise from top left:
1. empty, dirty toothpaste tube (found in mouth)
2. empty, dirty medicine bottle (found in mouth)
3. toy building block (found in mouth)
4. pink and white erasers (found in mouth)
5. pencil (found in mouth)
6. uncooked beans (found in mouth)
7. razor (found in mouth!)
8. rusty, broken spring (found in mouth)
9. nail clippers (found in mouth)
10. baby mangos, which are full of acid and ruin teeth and cause stomach aches (found in mouth)
Is this normal? Do most kids do this?
P.S. "A Bit Fine: Part 3" coming soon.

OMG, Mary! Something else to add to the prayer list...it's tough to "baby proof" an entire compound. When one lives with 150 sibs, the mouth may be a place to "secure" items you want to keep for yourself.
hahaha, oh man this post made me laugh. i love your updates on Milton and am so thankful for the miracle the Lord worked in his life! i'm with the doctors - it's hard to believe there was such little damage after falling 30 feet!
