I'm NEVER putting another pin in my mouth!

Yikes! That is scary!
Also, don't stick needles in a mattress or the cushion of a couch. When you stand up, they get pulled in and eaten. Our bed has a few needles inside the mattress. I kept thinking I was absent minded and had lost them until I figured out what was happening. LOL Hopefully no one will find one the hard way.

At a very young age (around 2-3 years old) I swallowed two straight pins. My Mother always sewed and made quilts and I had seen her put pins in her mouth from birth. Fortunately, we were at a very elderly ladies home when it happened and she grabbed me up, carried me into the kitchen, got a biscuit and made me eat it on the way to the hospital. After x-rays, it showed one pin up and one down. The biscuit had formed around the pins and helped them pass without any harm. I was old enough to know and remember the pain when I swallowed them. To this day, when I see someone with pins in their mouth, I just about have a hissy fit! I have even told strangers to please take them out of their mouths as I try to prevent a panic attack. So, I can truly say, I have never put a pin in my mouth since that horrible day. And now to know how nasty they are!
