Teen Hilariously Squeaks After Accidentally Swallowing Dog Toy

Let this be a lesson to
any teenagers trying to annoy their parents.
Johnathan Serrano, a 13- year-old from Montgomery, Texas, was trying to annoy his mom by chewing on a squeaker retrieved from inside a dog toy, when he acciden- tally swallowed the plastic piece and it became lodged in his esophagus.
Video taken by his mom, Mary Serrano, shows the teen squeak- ing with each laugh while wait- ing in the emer- gency room at the Conroe Regional
Hospital earlier this year.
The video, which has since
gone viral on TikTok, has tickled the internet, but viewers were not the only ones left laughing.
“He was, like, king of the hospital,” Mary told ABC. “All of the doctors and nurses would go in there and be like, ‘Hey, can you make the noise for us?'
Mary told Storyful that Johnathan was supposed to be getting ready for a Boy Scouts camping trip when the mishap occurred. Instead of packing, he was pestering her with the squeaker, so she pretended to slap him with
an empty pop bot- tle. When he ducked to avoid the bottle, he swallowed the toy.
And while the video is super silly and funny, Johnathan said he was lucky it was- n’t more serious.
“I was afraid that the dog toy might move to a position that the air would- n’t go through anymore.”
Doctors put the teen to sleep and were able to retrieve the toy part using a scope.
Johnathan said that he’s enjoying his newfound fame, but Mary told Storyful it’s come at a cost.
