A lost LEGO piece made a sudden return from a kid’s nose after two years of seemingly being missing.
In the 90s, the LEGO brand faced major expansions, leading many 90s babies to become fond of LEGO building. Likewise, many children still play with the little colorful building blocks to this day, due to themed LEGO sets in more recent decades. Many who were familiar with the sharp toys might know that tragedy normally ensues when someone steps on a block with their barefoot, but in the case of a seven-year-old New Zealand boy, the issue was a bit different.
As reported by The Guardian, New Zealand’s Sameer Anwar lost a LEGO piece in 2018 and alerted his parents that he had shoved it up his nose and was unable to find it. His parents were also powerless to retrieve it and took him to the doctor, who unfortunately couldn’t find the small black LEGO piece either. The doctor told the parents that the toy would likely pass through Sameer’s digestive tract and with no signs of the boy being in pain or distress, the family moved on from the incident. “Since then he’s never complained or anything,” one parent explained, saying that he was “quite playful and a mischievous character.”
But suddenly, last night, the supposed arm suddenly dislodged itself from Sameer’s nose. The boy was leaning down to smell a plate of pink cupcakes when his nose began to hurt. Believing he might’ve sniffed up some cake crumbs or something less minor, his mother had Sameer blow his nose. But instead of pink crumbs, a small black LEGO piece covered in gunk appeared in the tissue.
While his parents were shocked in disbelief, Sameer was happy to see the toy again. “Mum, I found the LEGO! You were telling me it wasn’t there, but it was there!” And according to his parents, this isn’t the first time Sameer has shoved objects up his nose. But never before had something been lodged in his nostrils for two years. In fact, LEGO pieces are commonly either lost up children’s noses or swallowed, but doctors have done experiments to show that LEGOs are not very—if at all—harmful to their bodies, and most children simply pass them within a few days.
Even so, sometimes it might be best to keep an eye on mischievous children like Sameer Anwar who was fond enough of the incident that his parents said they should “donate [the LEGO piece] to a museum.”
