You know how you can tell that you've been a parent for more than six years and are currently in the midst of your third year with your second kid? When Piper nonchalantly tells you that she ate a penny and you go to Google instead of the emergency room. I mean, really we've only had one trip to the emergency room ever but you get the gist.
She and Kennedy were getting ready for bed when I get summoned. Kennedy just simply states, "Mom, Piper said she ate a penny." *major eye roll and sighs*
When I get upstairs, they've both tucked themselves in to Kennedy's bed and thus my interrogation can begin.
Me: "Piper, did you really eat a penny?"
Piper: *slowly nods her head*
Me: "Are you sure it was a penny?"
Piper: *slowly nods her head*
Kennedy: "Well, maybe it was candy and she just thought it was a penny."
Me: "Did you chew it?"
Piper: *slowly shakes her head*
Me:
So needless to say, the internet told us that since penny's are fairly small and not sharp (and since she wasn't choking) that we just need to watch for it. And honestly, I'm still not even fairly certain this actually transpired! Yes, she told me what she did, but she's a bright kid and she knows what a penny is and that they certainly are not food. We'll see, I guess! Tonight at 8:00pm will mark 48 hours after said ingestion of questionable coin.
I'll make sure she gets seconds at all meals, now.
