In an amusing story, last Friday Mr. Charm swallowed some coins. How many? Who knows! He’d discovered the Geek’s special coin hiding place and had been hoarding coins in hard to reach places. So other than knowing that one of the coins was silver, I have no idea how many or in what denomination they were.
The doctor said the standard in these cases: watch for coins in diapers, watch for fevers, redness, decreased appetite, and if he hadn’t passed the coins by Wednesday, give them a call.
Well, on Wednesday, we hadn’t seen any coins in diapers (though he otherwise seemed fine) so I called, and they told us to come in on Thursday for an X-ray.
He screamed like a boy being tortured the whole time he was being X-rayed, which is odd, considering it was a room with a big machine that had lights and BUT-TONS! (which are his favorite things in the whole wide world right now). Still, we got a good picture off of him and – good news! His system is clear!
Somehow we managed to not find the coins that he passed at some point this week.
Whew!
Before the X-ray, my Dad jokingly said he would buy Mr. Charm for a quarter – after all, he was worth at least 27 cents!
Nah. He’s worth much more than that.
