What flirts with death have you had - Beyond Tiki

They thought they had swept it all up but missed a piece. You know what happened next don't you? Yep, I swallowed it. It slit the inside of my throat and went all the way to my stomach. I vomitted blood like crazy. My mother finally reached the Dr. on the phone and he told her to pack me full of Wheaties cereal to wrap around the glass and prevent further damage. I eventually passed the thing into a diaper. My Mother still has the glass in a compartment of her jewelry box. Gives me the creeps just to see it!
