Yesterday I was working away in my office when all the sudden I heard Amy ask Evan a question using a terrified tone. I thought perhaps Evan had hit Cora or Cora did something bad like broke something or did something else but I had it all wrong. I did not go up immediately but then Evan started hysterically crying and I heard Amy asking him about his recently purchased pirate ring. The ring is a spongy-ish ring that looks to be the size of a man’s class ring.
Amy’s reaction came after Evan told her that Cora ate the ring. He was crying hysterically because he loved the ring and did not want any food on it. I ran up as I finally understood what was unfolding and Amy quickly got on the phone with our pediatrician. While she was on hold, Cora seemed like she was fine but she and Evan both told the same story – that she ate the ring. I moved hysterical Evan into his room to calm down and was scurrying around the house trying to find the ring in hopes perhaps Evan and Cora were somehow not telling the story correctly.
As Amy and I looked all over – she finally got through to a nurse and the nurse put her on hold for a minute while talking to the doctor on the next step (ER?). I went down to my office to wrap things up figuring we were in for a long day at the hospital but just as the nurse got back on the phone – Amy found the ring.
Serenity now!
