OMG Eating Shoe Laces ???
So, I'm sitting at Dunkin' Donuts reading AG on my Iphone (now):

And the guy sitting in front of me with his kid (who is like 3 or 4) just said his kid eats shoe laces. He said his kid eats a whole shoe lace 4 or 5 times a week. He said it hasn't hurt him yet, so it's probably OK.

Some form of pica?
Breakfast looks delish btw.
OMG Eating Shoe Laces ???
Now the kid says "there is a bear in my stomach, and I'm feeding shoelaces to the bear". The dad says nothing.

Um, how about you stop letting your kid eat shoe laces?????? :eek:
Some people should not be parents :bash:

H-m-m-m. Pica. Some people eat shoelaces, some eat dirt, some eat glass, some eat.....; no telling what a person with Pica will eat. You have to watch them every second; literally.
I know of a person with Lesh-Nigh (sp) Syndrome. They had to pull his teeth because he chewed off parts of his own tongue and lips. Different than Pica, but he would chew off parts of himself that he could reach with his mouth. Has to do with pleasure/pain thing. And he was under doctor's order for restraints.
