"Son was in sixth grade. Apparently he was bored. He put a small magnet in each nostril, maybe to see if they would stick together through his septum. When he tried to remove them they just crawled further and further up. It made an awesome x-ray, looked like one round piece of metal in the middle of his forehead. The emergency department docs couldn't extract the magnets. My husband had to take him to an EENT the next day for magnet removal."
"A different incident, same son plus an older brother. They both come running into my room, blood dripping everywhere. The first thing they said 'we weren't throwing knives at each other!'. This was a lie. Same son with the magnets had a knife through his hand, blade on one side, handle on the other, partially closed. I learned that night that no matter the age of the participants, the police are called for all stab wounds."
A sixth-grade boy inserted small magnets into his nostrils, which migrated upward and could not be removed by emergency department staff, requiring EENT extraction the next day. The same boy and an older brother later arrived with stab wounds from a knife fight, prompting police involvement regardless of their ages. Years later, while target shooting as young adults, the younger son attempted to unjam a .22 pistol using his fingers on the trigger and barrel, resulting in a permanently deformed and dysfunctional left index finger.
