Did you know you can eat an ear bud without side effects? My son proved this theory about a week ago.
Normally my ear buds are just lying around on a counter somewhere. Usually our little bear pays them no mind. This day was different. He was playing with them and trying to get them to do things they weren't intended to do. Natasha started crying because she was hungry, so naturally, I went to her. My little man comes around the corner smacking his mouth and looking as if he just chewed something up. And his facial expression was curious and questionable. There was mild guilt and humor in his eyes and look. When I asked him to open his mouth, there was nothing abnormal to see. Then a thought came to me (must be a result of parenting a curious almost 3 year old boy) and I turned around to look at my ear buds (the last item in his hands). One was definitely missing.
The best part: when I looked back at him, he smiled and asked if he could eat the other one. At least I know he's learning some manners.
