Gross things your DC have eaten off the floor?

[NameChangeAgain712]

This morning, I caught DS (7 months) happily shoving a dead moth he'd found under the radiator in his mouth

What's the yuckiest thing your DC has tried (or succeeded) to eat?

My dd told me that when she was younger she ate a half eaten mars bar off the floor.

I once drank vinegar. Thinking it was coke. Well it was in one of those plastic pop bottles.

I caught DD2 putting a dead mouse (left by the cat) in her mouth when she was about 18 months. I got it back sharpish though!

Chips from under a park bench 🤢🤮 children are vile!

A snail. I heard the crunching before I saw it.

been sick in my mouth just thinking about it 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Dry cat food was always a favourite!!

Came here to say dead moth - also this morning!! Only my DS is nearly 2 so should know better 😂

Possum poo on the verandah. It was DD's first 'solids' at about 5 months.

Banana skin

Cat food, an ancient bun I'd set aside (boxed up)to give to relatives and they didn't come so it got forgotten

Some of these are very gross! Children are yucky.

PurpleMac

Kids in the playground - one came in with a huge wadge of bubble gum he'd found on the pavement on the way to school. this got passed round his friends for everyone to have a chew and then was parked under his desk until the next playtime. Very popular boy that lad was that day

Should have finished my lunch before reading this

I vividly remember eating ants as a 6/7yr old child and my mother being mortified. As I recall, they actually tasted rather nice, kind of salt and vinegar tasting.

Raisins from his own poo. More than once. He bowls hysterically when we stop him. (He's just turned 1).

Rabbit poo up the park while we were picnicking

Out on a walk and child picked up very old, very white dog poo. Straight in the mouth. Makes me want to vomit thinking about it even now.

My husband's flip-flop.

My mum said she would often spot me chewing on a slug in the garden when I was about 2 or 3! She was a devout vegetarian too...:(

Worm casts and pigeon poo! Yuk

Gravel - dd used to stuff it in by the handful if unsupervised in our garden for more than 5 seconds and crunch it up - vom!

Not from the floor, but nevertheless ugh! Earth from flowerpots using a spoon from a toy tea set. Waste good out of the kitchen bin.

Pooh.
DDs are very close in age. DD1 was having nappy changed on lounge floor and hard, dry pooh pellets rolled out. DD2, aged 7mths, scooted across to us and popped one in her mouth!

When my DD(7) was about 5 she told me she'd tasted her poo, aparently she was curious what it tasted like! Gip.

I remember when I was a tiny thing eating earth in the garden.

Pooh she pulled out of her nappy. Grim
