"EggEgg wants to poo poo now!"

I was busy changing Cola's nappy when I noticed a crunching sound. EggEgg's happily chewing on... a red Christmas candy? No, it's a red crayon! By the time I stop him, he's finished eating half of the crayon stick.

"Hey, what are you eating? It's a crayon! It's not edible! Hurry spit it out!"

EggEgg was shocked by this revelation, for he too has mistaken the crayon for a piece of Christmas candy. He was so scared that he vomited by reflex. There goes his breakfast and crayon pieces all over his clothes now.

But wait, there's more! The red crayon has stuck onto his teeth like a stubborn bubble gum. So we spent the next 10 minutes frantically cleaning up, brushing each tooth meticulously until the toothbrush is stained red and EggEgg has spit out mouthful after mouthful of red gargle.

"Ha! So how does it feel, eating crayon? Is it yummy?"

"No, not yummy." He replied dejectedly.

"Now the crayon is inside your tummy. Later, you might have a tummy ache."

"娜娜唔豬僕... EggEgg feels unwell..." (Ha! Serves you right for frequently putting toys in your mouth lately!)

"Don't worry. You'll be fine soon. The crayon will go down from your throat, then into your tummy, then into your bottom. It will come out with your poo poo."

EggEgg brighten up immediately. Right away he said, "EggEgg wants to poo poo now!" He stripped off his clothes, ran to the toilet in the hope that he might be cured. But 5 minutes passed, and there was still no sight of any poo.

"Not so fast! The crayon won't come out until tomorrow!!"

Surely enough, early next morning EggEgg announced, "EggEgg wants to poo poo now!"
