I thought I was going to die when I was 4 - I had been on a preschool excursion and in those days they put your name and used a pin to attach it to your clothes... well my name came off so I put the pin in my mouth for safe keeping - promptly swallowed the pin by accident and was sure I was going to die - I cried and cried, at bed time mum finally coaxed out of me why I was crying "I'm *sob* going to die! *sob*" and she started laughing! man was I p-d off - did this woman not care? when I finally managed to tell her about the pin and she assured me that no I wasnt going to die.
That was a very traumatic day.
