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

I'm sorry you experienced something like that, but good job for handling it with quick thinking and firm stomach thrusting! I'm sure a mom and dad pair out there are thanking their lucky stars they've got you as their child's teacher. ;)

The funny thing is that it didn't even phase the kid. He ate the rest of his lunch like nothing had happened...and when he asks me the ever popular question of "WHY?" when I tell him to do something, I have been able to say "Because I saved your life!" ;)
