Lego has been a feature of many New Zealand households through our lockdowns this year, but for one Kiwi boy a tiny piece of Lego held a special place - in his nose.
Dunedin dad Mudassir Anwar told the Herald that his 7-year-old son Sameer lost a piece of Lego in 2018, telling his parents that he had put it up his nose.
"One day he just told us he had slipped in a tiny piece of lego and then we tried our best to bring it out but nothing came out," Anwar said.
Anwar and his wife took Sameer to a local GP who had a thorough look but couldn't find the minuscule piece of black plastic.
The doctor advised them that Sameer may not have even put the piece in his nose or it may have found its way to his digestive system and would pass naturally.
