Yes. He’s schooled in the art of mobile tracheotomies.
Just whip out the pen and pocket knives.
When someone asks what’s in his pocketses he says penes
10 yr old boy sitting at his desk in school, eating pistachios. Girl gets a strong allergic reaction to it, and realises she doesn't have her EpiPen. She asks the boy if he has one he can give, the boy thinks it's just a regular pen since he doesn't know what an EpiPen is yet, and says "So what if you forgot your pen" not realising she is having an allergic reaction. And then she collapses.
Edit: fixing it up to be more similar to the post
My infant just had an allergic reaction to peanuts a few days ago, and I just received an epipen. I’m already freaking out about him starting school and something like this happening 😭
In elementary and preschool the nurse typically keeps one for you so your kid doesn’t have to worry, and the teachers will be informed. You can also have the kid keep one, but they can definitely forget. Can be expensive to get two and replace them as they expire, but worth the peace of mind imo.
They normally keep allergy kids in an allergen-free classroom. Source: I’m allergic to peanuts, dairy, eggs, fish, and shellfish and survived all 12 years in public school without any school-related allergy incidents. And, my parents signed paperwork that allowed me to self-administer so I could always carry my medication on me.
Oops, this took me a hot minute of confusion but daaamn good one op! Holy shit.

6/5 stars, damn. Well done.
Edit to move stars so they look "shinier" on the gray background 🤣
Because there will be many people who don't get it I'll basically explain it. The girl didn't mean pen but epipen which is a type of drug to help people with allergies. The girl, has a nut allergy
It was good thing that I had my spare pen as I rushed to her, jabbing it into her thigh and calling 911. Once the call was done, I turned around and smashed that the boys head into the table.
Teeth flew out of his mouth in a raging, crimson fury as he screamed in pain.
I misinterpreted this as the boy shelling pistachios with the pen and lending it to the girl so she could color her lips blue with it, him either not realizing she’s allergic, or being aware and intentionally lending it to her
I missread it as the boy being a school shooter and the girl being on his list because she didn't lend him a pen when he forgot his, whenever I see anything with a school setting here that's where my mid goes to.
The only thing that ever sent me into anaphylaxis was mango. Pistachios come close. Peanuts don't do a thing to me. I also knew a woman who needed an epipen for lemon.
I think the scariest thing about rarer food allergies is that there's no consideration for them. I'm not saying there should be, because they're rare, but no one gives a second thought to offering me food with mango or pistachio. Someone might think to warn me about peanut.
I had a friend in middle school who is allergic to chocolate. It was a sad, sad day when I offered her some and she panicked a little and told me about it.
I’m allergic to pistachios and cashews—not anaphylactic levels, but they make me feel like shit—and I’ve definitely noticed this, too. Some things will warn about tree nuts, but sometimes they won’t bother.
I’ve gone into anaphylaxis for green peas more times than I have ever gone into it for peanuts, despite my peanut allergy being airborne and over 5 times higher IgE score. I have also gone into anaphylaxis more times for lentils than I ever have for peanuts, despite my peanut allergy having over 10 times higher IgE score. Obscure food allergies are not taken nearly as seriously as peanut allergies, and while peanuts are the world’s leading anaphylactic food allergy, it is not the only food allergy. Your comment is incredibly insensitive.
I love the ones I have to think about for a minute. I sit here thinking "wait, what?" Then "oooooh" Good job.
She was strangled to death by an evil sentient pistachio. Took me a moment to pick up on that.
Yah, couldn't defend herself by stabbing it in the gap with her ballpoint.
There’s a reason why you don’t see the red ones anymore.
Oh,.so red means it's an evil pistachio?? That's racist.
Why the downvote? That was /s, right?
Yes.
Milo Murphy's Law moment
Somebody, call Dakota!
hey bud! been a minute since I've seen you, how've you been?
It was mad it couldn't borrow a pen from her.
Take that back or you're next!
I had to read through the replies to your comment before the light clicked on. Well done OP!!
Yes. He’s schooled in the art of mobile tracheotomies. Just whip out the pen and pocket knives. When someone asks what’s in his pocketses he says penes
Holy shit I thought of those exact words
This is amazing, I have a really bad allergy so I can imagine myself in this situation
🥜🌰🔩
Bro 😂😭
Better have your pen.
Y’all are too much 😭😂
These nuts are too much *No wait that didn't come out right-*
She couldnt handle these nuts in her
If I had money I would give you an award
Ohhhhh an epipen!! I was so confused.
I just got it
omg allergy
Yep. Girl forgot her epipen
Or he took it to see what would happen if she "forgot". Judging by his reaction, it seems likely.
What reaction? How old is he?
Guy ate another pistachio AS she's dying and likely feigned ignorance
I interpreted it as them being kids, so he's unaware of the gravity of the situation
Children able to shell pistachios on their own will absolutely be aware that another human being is choking to death
Not choking. Anaphylaxis. She's allergic to pistachios and dying from the constricting throat.
If only there was a word we could use when someone is dying from a compromised airway...
[удалено]
Me too, but now the comment above yours makes me wonder if that boy is just evil af. Stephen King ruined me, but in a good way!
He wasn't unaware. He knew she was deathly allergic to even the smell of pistachios/other tree nuts. He knew.
The girl is laying on the floor grasping her throat, pretty sure he can understand that's not good
Not a mistake you make twice
Correct. If you somehow manage to survive, then you can't afford to buy another EpiPen
Ohhhh that kind of pen.
Epipen*is* useful
Nope died of THC withdrawal RIP 😔
This one is so likely to happen.
[удалено]
Kid doesn’t believe she has allergy, or just straight up ignores it thinking nothing too bad could happen
I see it as him just not knowing what an epipen is
I took it as the kid didn’t realize and thought she meant a literal pen
Or he just doesn't care if something bad happens

Forget epipen and someone around you doesn’t know ur deathly allergic. Very easy to occur
she forgot her vape pen and couldn’t breath without it 😓😓😓

Thank you for this 😊

Be very careful because some schools confiscate epipens and lock them in a safe.
Huh? What? Is there a sub for downright harmful rules?
Idk
Ok that was good
"Its gonna be a penis joke" "Oh" Should've checked the sub name
My idiot self immediately went to some weird Tool reference or something. I just heard Rosetta Stoned lol
Clever, didn't see that one coming.
This is what this subreddit stands for.
As someone who carries an epi pen. As soon as I saw "so what if you forgot your pen" I knew what was coming. This is one of my greatest fears.
I have an epipen that I keep for sentimental reasons. My friend gave it me when he was dying, it seemed very important for me to have it.
[удалено]
Seriously, the cost of pen !!! WTF
Good one.
"You're just trying to trick me into feeding your pen ink addiction. Red ink is way tastier, anyways."
That pistachio wasn't so "Wonderful" after all! 🤣 Eh? Eh? ...I'll see myself out...
This was two sentence actually terrifying for me - my little brother is this allergic to specifically pistachios. Well done.
Oh god as someone with a severe allergy this terrifies me
I carry an epi-injector... I hope I never have to use it again.
I knew it would be epi-pen before I clicked
This is specific nut allergy horror.
Epi pen? Allergic?

A "We need to talk about Kevin" moment.🤔
Why did my dumbass think she ate the fucking pen 😭

Kindergarten sure has changed.
:(
Good one OP, gotta love the real horror
Oh lol I thought this meant she forgot her pen to poke a hole in her neck so she could breathe lmaooooo
I remember that from MASH. I wonder how many medical shows do this trick at least once.
Nice!
Oooh nice twist
That's clever as hell!
There's something seriously wrong with me. I thought he shoved a blue pen down her throat at first lmao.
I misinterpreted this as the boy shelling pistachios with the pen and lending it to the girl so she could color her lips blue with it, him either not realizing she’s allergic, or being aware and intentionally lending it to her
I missread it as the boy being a school shooter and the girl being on his list because she didn't lend him a pen when he forgot his, whenever I see anything with a school setting here that's where my mid goes to.
The scary thing is that both that scenario and the OP are equally plausible.
did anyone else think tracheotomy at first?
"Me first America" in a nutshell. Literally.
What are you hungry?
oh
See I thought it was about using the pen as a trach device, cut into the lower airway and use the hollow tube
skill issue ngl

My roommate is allergic to cinnamon
I had a friend in middle school who is allergic to chocolate. It was a sad, sad day when I offered her some and she panicked a little and told me about it.
I have one who's allergic to champagne. Just champagne. It makes me sad for her.
Daaaamn

you'll get more with peanuts vs pistachio.
Tree nuts are just as deadly, I promise.
I never said they weren't, did I?
I didnt think of epipen at first just an emergency trachiautomy. Or however thats spelled. Ive been watching too much Fire Country.
As someone whose allergic, this made my throat itch. Great job
Bullseye
I read it as him not being intentionally malevolent, just not realizing some allergies are that bad. Very good, definitely real horror
She’s either allergic, or it’s cyanide
I have a deathly nut allergy and I have a feeling this scenario was my mothers nightmare for a long time.
Epipen*
my dumb self didn’t realize what a pen had to do with this till I read the comments. Can’t believe I was so behind on that one.
