More tales of woe from the Harmony Playground in Park Slope, this one coming to us from Park Slope Parents via Brooklynian. It’s about a marble-eating child at the Harmony Playground, which is the site of many dramatic incidents:

Last week my mother in law watched a baby eat 3 marbles from a game near the women’s bathroom before she could get to him and pry the 4th out of his mouth. No one was around. Finally a little girl came up to him and took him to her own mother who was his baby sitter. The baby sitter was chatting with friends on the opposite side of the small jungle gym area in the shade and quite out of site from the baby. We don’t know the child’s name and hope he’s okay. Marbles seem like a miserable thing for a tiny one to pass. I hope they don’t block up his sysem.

Interesting slice of life story and there’s a developing discussion on Brooklynian.
