Just for fun - weirdest thing they have eaten

I came home from the store to discover my husband had a half bottle of calcium chews for lunch. What has your LO eaten?

    A ball from the Christmas tree...this could have been bad if I hadn't been right there to intervene. So if you have "inventive eaters," better look around for any objects that might cause an ER visit. She also had quite an appetite for flowers, and some are dangerous to ingest (dont ask why I know that!).

    I had a 1/2 can of cat food in the fridge covered. I caught my DH mixing it up with mayo he was getting ready to make a tuna sandwich. I caught him just as he was opening up the bread.

    Funny, Zetta - but you know some of my cat's food looks pretty good.

     You all also need to be careful about aerosol cans you might have in the kitchen or bathroom.  I caught Charles starting to spray something into his mouth.  It's like I'd think it would be to baby-proof a home.  Might also watch the shampoo.

    Recently, my DH has refused to eat a potato that does not come in "chip" form. I will have a baked potato with my dinner and he will have chips. He's rail thin, so no worries on weight gain. I just thought it was odd, I should be used to this by now.

    Baileys Irish Cream. My sister in law caught my wife taking small glasses of Baileys when I was out of town.

    Not a weird object, but a weird combination: hummus and ice-cream. Yuck! The first time I saw him do that I tried to stop him. Then I realized it's not dangerous, so go for it!
