At some point, your toddler may come joyfully bounding over to you, clutching a crinkly plastic item in his hand, and asking you sweetly to "unwrap the ice pop."
Only it is not an ice pop at all, BUT A (wrapped, thankfully) TAMPON. And it is a mystery as to where he found it.
As you were.

It's not parenting, per se, but once my dog chewed up an entire, brand new, 40 pack of tampons and scattered them all over the house. It took me a week to find it all.
I would be interested in knowing how you diffused the situation, however.
Exactly why I cannot have children. EXACTLY.
LOL. oh wow. I am actually really looking forward to these kinds of things, because they CRACK ME UP! hehe
I remember finding tampons in my mom's purse when I was a kid, asking her what they were and when she told me they were just for adults, being FURIOUS because I thought it was candy she was keeping for herself.
Iggy (is not a child, no, but the closest comparison I have, and) yesterday ate a pair of my earrings, but I honestly have no idea WHERE he found them. I don't live my earrings on the floor, or on tables where he can reach them. I call shenanigans.
My daughter took a box of tampons out from the cabinet under the bathroom sink, opened the box and lined them all up, end to end, across our playroom.
And then my in-laws came over.
I once babysat for a kid who had a tampon applicator in her toy chest that she would take out and play with along with her cars and dolls and such. I never explained to her what it was, but I never touched it, either.
Want to hear something WAY worse? (My SIL would kill me if she knew I was telling this.)
My niece barged in on my SIL in the bathroom as she was putting a tampon in and my niece saw the blood and asked why my SIL's butt was bleeding. Try explaining that one to a three year old.
In your case, you could fashion the unwrapped tampon into some sort of science experiment. "Look how much water it soaks up! Yay!"
When Rt was first able to walk around the house without our every minute supervision, he came around the corner with a.....device.....that....vibrates...
the horror.
I also had it happen with a buzzy-sort of-thing! I just told him it was one of Dada's tools. Sort of, kind of, maybe?
It worked.
Once upon a time, a mother found her 14 month old standing in the middle of the bathroom with a used Kotex hanging out of her mouth.
I had to link to this post from my blog because you reminded me of a certain little boy asking me to scratch something on him that should never be scratched by a parent, or anyone other than HIM for that matter. Dontcha just LOVE being a mom?
Oh my lord, that is hilarious!! I'm loving these comments too! :)
Here's where I tell you that a plastic breast pump can be used as an imaginary gun. When friends are over. Yikes.
