Today, for the 5th day in a row, I had to keep my 7-year-old home from school and search his poop because he "forgot" he's not supposed to swallow things like, in this case, a screw that fell off his scooter. FML

So your kid swallows while your wife doesn't?

What else was he supposed to do with a delicious screw if not eat it?

He didn't swallow the screw he just wants to stay home! Duh!

Ew, why would you search his poo? A screw is easily & cheaply replaced. I assume you weren't looking because you were worried about your kid, as you could have taken him to the doctors/hospital to be x-rayed or checked out... sifting through poo isn't going to save him if the screw punctured something or got stuck inside him.

Um, hey stupid. You don't have to bring your kid to the doctor for that. They would just tell you to wait for it to pass anyways.

Ok.. So I wonder.. maybe hes trying to get attention.. what if hes the middle child of say 6 kids.. he might just want to have time with his parents.. my grandpa use to say kids want attention no matter how they get it.. being good and/or in this case bad... i have to say i know what hes talking about now that im a parent.. the kid i bet just wanted it to be about him.. if hes in a big family .

Huh, my first thought was that the kid is doing stupid things like this to avoid school since he may be getting picked on. Didn't know there was an actual mental condition. :O I learned something on FML!

That's not easy to remember sometimes, they taste so good

He might have Pica, a mental disorder where people eat things that aren't food. OP needs to get him to the doctor and find out before he eats something really dangerous. Of course, I swallowed a Barbie shoe when I was a kid, and I learned my lesson and turned out fine. lol

y does his scooter have loose screws ..with loose screws on a scooter he could of got hurt but in ur sitation he swallowed it
