I have had a nightmare weekend due to my 4yr old and her 5yr old cousin getting up to mischief!
Me and Mr tigwig were on a course Saturday so our daughter stopped at my sisters and both girls were well behaved apart from tipping some children's mouthwash down the sink that was brand new! All was well until I got her home later that afternoon. Without warning she threw up everywhere
then seconds later again and again getting worse everytime. After the 3rd time she suddenly announced that the mouthwash hadn't been tipped down the sink but she had drunk 'alot of it'! I thought oh sh*t and phoned nhs direct whilst cleaning her up. I was put straight through to the nurse and she contacted the poisons dept who got back to me instructing us to go straight to A&E. We did and she was sick several times more. Eventually she was admitted to the children's ward and hooked up to a heart monitor. (I could have done with one too I think!) Apparently the flouride causes erratic heartbeat which she did have but thankfully not dangerously. We were allowed to come home in the early hours of the morning as the noise was so horrendous there with the other poor kids and the machine beeping there was no way either of us could sleep. Now she has just eaten for the first time since and is on the mend. What a weekend! She has learnt never to drink anything like that again. Have your children ever done something so stupid like that before?

When i was about 4 (on my mums birthday), i decided to draw her a picture with this huge biro shaped like a toblerone. Finished the picture, and wearing my socks no shoes, ran to show mum who was the other side of the room, polishing the lovely wooden floor with a floor polisher.

I slipped while running and managed to fall on the biro, it ended up sticking out of my face, just above my eye, at the edge of my eyebrow nearest my nose. A smidge lower and i would have lost the eye!

I got rushed to hospital, with pen still lodged in my face so it didnt start a huge bleed from pulling it out! Poor Mum had to spend most of her birthday in A&E! Still have the scar today!
When I was about 5 I dared my friend next door to see if she could fit one of those giant gobstoppers (the size of a golfball) up her nostril.

She still has the scar where they cut her nose to get it out.
my son crawled under a fence at school and ran across a busy dual carriageway, my other son was stabbed in the back of his head with a pencil by another pupil (who has special needs) both incidents happened withing a few weeks of each other, thankfully they are both safe and sound
when I was 3 I fell down a little tikes slide split my head open on a concrete path and spent the week in hospital.
I was always ending up in a&e as a child, I remember once my nan was babysitting me when i was about 5-6 years or so, and i was sat outside on the car parking area outside my house throwing stones down the drain, listening to the 'plopping' sound,when a car reversed back on me. I remember me lying under the car kicking and screaming and my nan running over shouting at the driver, the nieghbours all running out, i was ok but shaken up. Then i was run over again after that crossing the road to get to the shop, i had no road sence at all. Then i remember doing the 'hey baby' dance of the dirty dancing film on a wall and falling off, breaking my arm and getting concusion. There was also a time when me and my brother were play fighting and i fell and split my head o a door [still have the dent in my head to this very day lol}.
i didn't know you had children cazzz!
didnt you knowno, so you have never seen my album on FB, I am shocked and discarded :D
i'm not a nosey person
or i have a sh*t memory.
hey Tigwig.. how scary. I'm glad your daughter is okay now. you must be shattered!

when my daughter was 6 I got a call from the school saying she'd stuck a seed up her nose! I went to get her and she was very upset. we went to the hospital and they said they couldn't see anything but "keep an eye on her overnight as it could be making its way to her lungs"!

two days later we were in the car and she said, "mum! the seed.. it's here!" I put my hand out and she pressed the seed into my hand, surrounded by a big glob of snot!

lovely ;o)
Two year old and three year old 'playing nicely' in back garden - found moments later that this involved them dropping rocks over the wall onto neighbour's car.
They are now in their 20's. They were expensive children.....

Well glad its not just my daughter then!!!
I have a selection for you, my 3 year old sticking a pea up her nose and sneezing it out about a week later at the dinner table, we weren't eating peas at the time and I thought "what the ?..........." smothering herself in sudocream face and all, just two little eyes poking through you can imagine the fun I had trying to get it off...........swallowing a marble ( i have kept the x-ray proof for her wedding day speech) ......worst of all was cutting nearly all her hair off one side she looked like the girl from that yellow pages ad with james nesbitt....I could write a book. When I think back on them now I feel like I must have been the worst mother ever........scissors.....marbles ?? oh well they are still alive to tell the tales. Just remembered when I found them both in the bathroom with 2 packs worth of sanitary towels stuck all over each other .....bless em !
I remember finding a box of something in my Dad's bedside drawer.

I took one and when I opened the little packet, here was a party balloon inside. My mates and I had fun with it on the playing field nearby.

I never knew what it really was, and luckily my parents didn't see.
I manged to take the top of my little finger trying to shut a door property (got it caught in the hinge), they couldn't save it and then it got a tumour on it which had to be surgically removed on Christmas Eve. It's still shorter than all the others.

My brother stabbed me in the leg with a pencil so hard once the lead snapped off and my dad had to fish it out.

There was an incident at infants school when a friend found some white powder and tried to get me to have some. Didn't realise the panic until much older though!

I confess to accidentally drinking some kind of liquid hair conditioner spray I'd stupidly put in a water bottle as I wanted to spray bottle for something else, I'm ashamed to say I was at uni at the time though!

Oh and while reading a magazine in a doctor's waiting room, I made the mistake of asking my mum what consummated meant, she wasn't impressed!
Ran off with mums purse down the old kent road at 3 years old, (rather busy road for anyone who doesn't know it) because I wanted sweeties.

I also got kicked out of nursery school for punching a boy in the nose (obviously waiting until mum got there at the end of the day to check 'is this how you do it')... Doesn't really get much better from there on actualy.
A friend of mine has two sons, when they were around 3 and 5 they had a pet hamster and one day my friend heard lots of commotion, her two boys were fighting over who would hold hamster first. Unfortunately, the hamster was in the middle of this fight and the poor thing was kind of pulled apart, when each child played tug of war with it, one pulling at the back legs and the other at the front.

My friend was mortified, more so because the hamster although fatally injured, continued to hang onto life. She had to put it out of it's misery by clubbing it with a hammer or something. What shocked me more, was that she didn't really explain to the children what they had done was extremely cruel and wrong, she just made up a cover story.
Got ran over - twice, took overdose of junior aspirin - estimated 78 tablets, stuck a junior pitchfork in my leg, fell onto a full size one, brother intentionally crushed my little finger in garden gate - still deformed today (I'm 39), same brother emptied pot of saxa pepper in my eyes, I stabbed him in the forehead with a normal fork, lost tip of finger in bicycle chain 'accident', jumped of fence - trousers caught on top of fence - broke arm and collarbone, fell between concrete girders - broken leg... the list goes on. My poor mum!
My son was having a ' backie' on a bike with no shoes on when he was about 4 and stuck his foot in the gears on that bike. That took a very long visit to A and E to have what was left of his foot stitched back together. He had to return to outpatients for check ups, and his brother decided since his hospital visit fell on st Patrick's day it'd be 'fun' to paint him with green gloss paint.... all over, hair and everything.....you have no idea how you can't get paint out or off of someone til you try.
Another time they tipped a catering pack size bucket of dried chicken soup in the bath and took a bath in it. I thought they've gone quiet and there was this lovely smell....
Actually the list is endless since I have a lot of kids but those were the two that sprang to mind. Little monsters.
I can remember when I was 9, playing doctors and nurses with little boy next door - he was looking in his mum's sideboard for some 'doctor''s' equipment - he found a packet of his mum's sanitary towels, place one around his face, hooked the loops on both ears, and hey presto he had a doctor's mask !

Glad your daughter is o.k tigwig.
