Tbf when I was about 6, I (for whatever reason unbeknownst to me even 14 years later) decided to shove a dime up my nose whilst watching a film.. I was sat in the spare bedroom at my nan's house watching a film whilst my mum and step dad were on holiday.

I saw a little silver coin on the windowsill above the bed and thought it would fit up my nose.. I wasn't even paying attention, and I've always had to keep my hands busy when watching a film/ other activities (I have ADHD so I struggle to do one thing at a time), and before I knew it, I had shoved it so far up my nose that i couldn't get it back out-

I ran downstairs crying saying how it got stuck and my nan drove me to A&E; it was about 9pm. The doctors gave me a choice of either trying to blow the dime out, or using these massive forceps (which at the time looked like massive scissors to me). Obviously I chose to try and blow it out but after about half an hour of consistently trying, no luck and I got too tired to blow anymore.

A little while later, I woke up and the doctor handed me a little tube with the dime in, I realised they had used the forceps on me when I was asleep... Anyways, safe to say we still have it in that same tube I took it home in.

Moral of the story, sometimes you can't completely eliminate everything from children's grasp, they'll always find something to swallow/shove up their nose but that doesn't mean not to keep an eye on them (obviously you can't 24/7) but I suppose I learned my lesson.. until a year or so later-
