Fearless Miki

Miki has a set of Bornimago - strong magnetic rods and spheres to create virtually anything one can imagine .... time and again, i have to remind her not to put those nickel-plated balls into her mouth ... she doesnt listen to me & i often caught her red-handed ...

Miki was playing on her own in the tatami room while yuta and i were in the next room around 5 pm today ... suddenly, we heard her cries .... not her usual wailing and i knew straightaway something happened ... when i saw the set of Bornimago, my heart sank ... i asked her if she swallowed anything ... she just kept crying and refused to tell me what happened initially ... for a moment, her eyes were red and her face turned pale ... i tried to make her throw up by sticking my fingers into her throat .. it didnt work .. i pounded her back real hard ... again, it didnt work ... she continued crying after that ... she also admitted that she swallowed a ball ... so i told yuta to stay home while i rushed miki to our usual paediatrician nearby via bicycle ...

on our way there, miki was quite quiet ... when i asked if she was ok, she told me not to look at her ... and when i asked if she swallowed any balls, she told me `i only eat one ball ... one only`!!! .... upon reaching the clinic, she was happily jumping away !!! my goodness ...

we waited a while before our turn ... i supposed the nurses knew she was ok since she was playing happily ... the doctor checked her and concluded that the ball must have gone into her stomach and not her lungs ... i was told that the ball will eventually come out together with her poo poo within the next seven days and therefore i have to check her poo-poo everytime until that ball is out ...

after we reached home, i was busying in the kitchen ... a while later, i thought miki looked like she was eating some sweets ... i didnt give her any and so i asked what was in her mouth, she quickly spat out TWO balls .. she even got the guts to tell me `mama, i only eat one ball` ... my jaws dropped ... it was at the very most an hour after what happened and she was at it again ... this is it ... no more bornimago for the kids ...

perhaps, `fearless` is understated ... cant think of any other appropriate words at this moment .. sigh ...

Yes you shd confiscate it so that she knows you mean biz. Removing it is a form of discipline too. Very dangerous you know...
