Funny but Gross

Today we met my friend Melanie her daughter Riley at the mall so our kids could play in the play area. We had a lot of fun. As we started walking to the car to go home we had to pass on of those carts that is full of every imaginable type of gum ball. I think gum balls are gross and probably won't let my kids have them for a long time. So, at this point in her two years of life, Elaine has no idea what they are. As we walked by the display Elaine was riveted. I told her we had to go home so she walked up to the closest machine, touching the glass canister tenderly to say goodbye and gave it a kiss. It was cute and funny to see but gross to think of how many other young children's hands had touched them.
