Kids can get hurt doing some crazy, stupid, or ordinary things.  We can do our best to keep our eyes on them, but inevitably, there will be times when the little ones get into things that we never expected.

I got an example in my email today.  It had to do with the Magic Eraser, a product that I always keep handy.  Basically, a kid rubbed it on his skin and it gave him some chemical burns.  I looked up the story on Snopes.com as I always do to determine if it was true.  It sounds like it may be true, though it may be due to abrasive scratches instead of or in combination with the chemicals. Here is more info on the Magic Eraser story: http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/eraser.asp

Bottom line, you never know what your little guys can get into, rub on their skin, put in their mouths, paint on the walls, hide under their beds, etc. etc.  Watch your kids as much as you can without going crazy and pray that whatever it is that your child does (stuffing dried blueberries in their nose, for example), isn’t too bad!!!
