When Sidney, my middle daughter, was just a baby her great grandmother crocheted her the cutest pink blanket. Sidney loved that blanket and would hug it and chew on it. I didn't think anything about the chewing until she started chewing clear through it and big holes were appearing. Not wanting to take her blanket away I would fix the holes the best I could and give it back to her.
One day I went to change her diaper. All was well, stinky, but well. I began to clean up her bottom and noticed, what I thought was, a worm. I began to panic ready to run her to the emergency room. My husband wasn't home and he is never home when it comes to emergencies with the kids. I was going to have to take care of this on my own. Still trying to clean her up I went to pull out the worm and trying not to vomit put it some where so that I could take it to the doctor for evidence. Upon doing this I realize that this was not a worm but a piece of pink yarn from the blanket that Sidney loved to chew on.
Well that was the end of the blanket for Sidney. It went in the trash after a rush of relief came over me. I am just glad that I didn't rush to the doctor claiming to have worms.
Aren't you glad I didn't have pictures to go along with this one?

Yuck! My mother in law swears all kids get worms. I told her they are not puppies and she has issues. :)
I got the Linky all squared away! No problem! Thanks again for sharing this GREAT GROSS story!!!

Is it ok to laugh about this one. I was totally gagging until I red "pink yarn".

I was wondering how the worm went all the way through and had survived. Yuck. Glad it was yarn instead.
