Child Swallows SpongeBob Keychain, X-Ray Shocks Doctor

Every parent knows to keep small toys away from young children. If they don't, things can get serious, as children often accidentally ingest small objects that they find.

A 16-month-old boy in Saudi Arabia gave doctors and his parents the scare of their lives after he had to be rushed to the hospital because he swallowed a small object. The Doctors took X-rays to try and discover what exactly it was the child ingested, and what they saw shocked everyone.

SpongeBob Squarepants was staring back, upside-down, at everyone in the room, and, according to The Daily Mail, the sight even produced a scream out of Dr. Ghofran Ageely, a radiology resident at King Abdulaziz University Hospital in Jeddah.

Eventually, doctors were able to remove the keychain and the child is now fine.
