"I was trying to make it disappear..."

I have two jobs...A part time job at an elementary school as a school nurse (technically a health technician, but no one really knows what that means) and I work basically full time at another school as a secretary. It is lots and lots of fun and I stay busy. These jobs also give me great stories to tell. I love working with kids, especially ones that are not super-duper sick. (Kudos to my lovely sister-love you!!) Here is a more recent story...

A kid comes in with a note from their teacher with a tiny pumpkin shaped eraser taped to it,
the eraser kind of looks like the picture to the right. The note states that the student swallowed the eraser. The other "nurse" (or to be politically correct health tech) in the office asks them what happened and if they swallowed it on purpose. They tell the following story:
I had the eraser in my hand and I was going to do an awesome magic trick with it for my friends-I was going to make it disappear. So I was doing some fancy hand movements and getting very serious. I opened my mouth (cuz that is where I was going to make it "disappear" to) and I flung the eraser in...I guess I just flung it too hard cuz it went down my throat and then I had to swallow so I did and then it was gone. My teacher sent me up here to make sure I was ok. So am I ok?

You have to give the kid some credit. They did make it disappear!
