When my son was 8 years old we were shopping together at Target.  He had a box of M&M’s and I had to keep myself from cringing every time he dropped one, picked it up, and proceeded to eat it.  It wasn’t until he spilled several M&M’s at the same time and was picking them all up that I said something…

Me: “Don’t you think that’s a little gross?  Those have germs all over them now.”

Son: “Yeah… but you can’t really taste them.”

I had to look away so he didn’t see me laughing.
