A child choking on small fruit is every parent’s nightmare.

I choked on a grape once - as an adult though. It was a nice hot summer’s day. Great conversations and laughs while keeping ourselves cool.

I’d just popped a grape into my mouth when someone shared a funny joke.

One minute I was laughing, the next I couldn’t breathe.

Fortunately it dislodged. To this day I don’t know which way it went down.

I should have got medical attention because my chest hurt. Then I read stories about people with grapes stuck in their lungs!

Honestly, grapes are nature’s silent assassins. People think they’re safe because they’re an adult? They should think again. Glad you made it RD!
