"A, why are you holding your tongue like that?"
"I ate a penny."
"What?"
"I ate a penny, Mommy."
Really? Okay.
Mommy calls the doctor.
"He says he ate a penny, but his speech isn't great and his imagination's really kicked in--"
"It'll pass. Give him lots of fluids, but kids can eat pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters with no problem."
"That's it? No X-rays?"
"Nope, it'll pass." (stifled giggle) "The big hazard is choking, and if he's telling you he ate a penny, he's okay."
"Thanks. Is this your laugh of the day?"
"Yeah, well no, we get these calls every day. Every day."
I don't know if he did or not...but we'll be watching now.

Don't worry. I ate a penny and I'm fine now! If this is what passes for fine these days, anyway.
This, too, shall pass!
