Food Hypothetical

[Jem]

Ok, it's not hypothetical.

I let DS bake with me for the first time. I put the mixing bowl on the kitchen floor so he could reach easily. He was having so much fun stirring, though I did tell him a couple of times to keep the spoon in the bowl. He got wild again and I said "keep it in the bowl", when I turned back from the trash can I saw him pick up a small bit of the batter that had fallen on the floor and put it back in the bowl. Oops.

The good news is, he clearly understands "keep it in the bowl" and was following my directions. The bad news is I meant the spoon, not the rogue batter. So, would you still bake it up and feed it to him?

[Brie]

Sure. I'm sure my kid will wind up eating far worse than that at one point or another.

My kid frequently chews on pinecones. A bit of baked (and thus, fairly sterilized) floor dirt is not a problem.

With the amount of dirt, grass, fuzzies, sand, etc this child eats on a regular basis? Bake em and serve them up!

[Jem]

All so true!

Sometimes I just need a little check when I get the neurotic mom guilt over ridiculous things.

[bunch]

Oh yes. My dd licks the floor more days than not.

Yup!

The bigger question is, will you feed them to anyone else or eat them yourself?

Well, if the overwhelming response had been no, then my follow-up question was going to be "can I feed them to DH"?
