Lenka Clayton is a conceptual artist and recent mother. She wanted to continue her artistic endeavors while staying at home with her one-year-old son. The photo above is a portion of the mounted collection of objects she removed from her son's mouth between ages 8-15 months.
Not to be judgmental (I mean, I once had to bring my preschool daughter to the ER after she swallowed a penny . . . and then had to, er, watch for it to make sure it emerged eventually) but geez, some of these things really shouldn't have been within the kid's reach!
