Last night we were helping a friend get moved in and Kason walked up to me and had a penny in his mouth. I told him, "If you swallow that - you're gonna die! Take it out of your mouth!" (this is a common thing around our house ...). He took it out and walked away.
I kid you not, 3 minutes later, Kason walks back up to me with PANIC on his face. I ask him what's wrong ... he says, "I swallowed it!!!" followed by panicked tears.
I had to suppress my laughter and ask him, "Where IS the penny? Is it in your throat?"
With tears streaming down his face he pointed to his tummy. Okay, we were good - he wasn't going to choke on it and die. I relaxed and picked him up.
"Kason ... you're not going to die. The penny is already in your tummy. You'll be just fine. I promise."
He took awhile to believe me and to really understand that he wasn't going to die from swallowing a penny! I felt horrible but at the same time, I was laughing so hard about it! I never actually thought he would swallow the penny and I would be sitting there eating my words!
I'm hoping this puts an end to money going in that little boys mouth!!

Yikes! That's funny though. Glad the penny made it safely to his tummy and hopefully it makes a safe exit, too :)
