I don't ever want to do that again -or- Boo Hotdogs!

[aimlessinspace]

One of my little guys at school decided to take too big of a bite of hot dog during lunch today, then not chew it and swallow.  He stands up, drops his spoon and starts waving his arms.  I look at him, ask him what he is doing, realize he is choking, smack him on the back a couple of times, he starts turning blue, I feel like someone just kicked me in the stomach, turn him around and start doing the Heimlich Maneuver, and pretty soon we have projectile piece of hot dog flying onto the table.  He sat down, I sat down and told the other kids this is why we chew our food all the way so we don't choke on it, and we finished our lunch.

All I can say is I NEVER want to do that again!
