Where to begin... Once my daughter was in the garden and picked up a sun dried worm. It was seconds away from disappearing into her mouth!!!

it went quiet- and i discovered her eating dog food

When my DS was about 9 months old, he got hold of his dirty nappy and basically spread it around the living room. It was EVERYWHERE. He even eat some of it. I feel sick even thinking about it now. Thank god we had laminated flooring!

My Son stuck a piece of sweetcorn up his nose. Every time I tried to grab it he sucked it back up his nose. Finally managed to get it though.

When we lived in Africa and my son was crawling he ate these great big blue ticks that were on the dog, and had blood and goo running down his chin. I practically puked on the spot!

My son somehow managed to be sick and it went into my mouth! Even typing this makes me feel sick remembering!

My delightful 4 year old found all the tampax applicators that had been put in the bathroom bin, slotted them together and made a long long tower out of them. He carried the tower out to us....a sort of Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Dh and I looked horrified as he came in, covered in period blood from the tampons.

I cannot recall anything totally horrifying (probably a good thing! or maybe you choose to forget!). Like all children they used to love getting mucky when they were little.

DS, about 2, obsessed with farms, being potty trained. As it was summer he was playing happily without his nappy on. Went to see what he was doing to find him running his tractor through a huge poo on the carpet "me poo spreading". It takes a lot of scrubbing to get poo out of a tractor's tyres.

My feral DCs spent much time playing outside on the farm. Unbeknown to me when they needed the loo they went in an abandoned sheep trough, then called our yorkie over to eat the contents. Didn't appear to have any ill-effects on the dog who lived to a robust sixteen.

I found me daughter paddling in the toilet! She was having a great time

turned and saw my 4 year old licking the dogs nose... YUCK

My son ate a caterpillar when he was about one! it was massive, I could even stop him as I was on the other side of the garden and frozen in horror!

Eaten the over the lip toilet cleaner gel!

I was breastfeeding DD2 in the lounge and I noticed that DD1 (3) had gone awfully quiet having gone to the bathroom. I called her and could hear her giggling but she didn't come through - I made my way to the bathroom to find the whole room and her, was white, covered in baby powder! It took me hours to clean it all up, turns out baby powder doesn't clean well in copious amounts!

My daughter had a taste for pet food when she was younger. She used to love Bakers complete and would eat it straight from the dogs bowl. We had to start feeding the dog outside to stop her. She also ate a tub of fish food when she was 2. She's 13 now and is disgusted when we tell her about it.

My daughter's friend came to her birthday party and fell out with another child that was there.... after the party I found out she'd picked her nose and put it on the other girl's plate without her seeing. The most disgusting thing my daughter did was not tell me until after the party even though she knew at the time.. I looked on the plate and... it wasn't there barf.....

My daughter's friend did the bogie on the plate btw not my daughter...honest...lol

When my daughter was about 3 or 4 yrs she was dangling a worm and said 'Look mummy, I can make it into two !!' with a yank she made two !! eughhhh

It had to be taking the contents out of their nappy... It always seemed to happen when they woke from their afternoon nap.
Thankfully it was winter so I bought an all in one with a zip & used a nappy pin through the top of the zip so they couldn't unzip the onesie. Sorted!

when potty training my son he pooed on my carpet and because he knew it was wong picked it up and tried hiding it in my plant pot! lol

eaten dog food

When my sister was young and my parents had a shop, she would run outside when people left their kids in the pushchair and give them a pinch and run off, their parents had no idea and neither did ours!

She feels bad now though!!

Kept dipping a gingerbread man in mayonnaise and licking it off in the middle of a nice cafe!

Playing with poo. With a big grin on his face,

DD2 used to try to eat the duck toilet gel from the loo. Both DDs used to make a bee line to the cat litter to play/ eat it- this only stopped when the cat died so the litter was no longer available.
