Lucy ate dog food today.
She was playing contentedly in the dining room, eating Cheerios out of her snack-trap. When I saw her chewing, I assumed she was eating Cheerios. Then I looked at the "Cheerio" in her hand, and realized
THAT'S NOT A CHEERIO!
It was a piece of kibble. As was the "cheerio" in her mouth.
Totally. Gross.
Turns out, the snack trap was empty (perhaps Carter ate the rest of them?) and Lucy moved on to the nearest source of snackage, which happened to be the remaining kibble in Carter's bowl.
She has not shown any ill effects so far. No barking, no lifting her leg.
[FYI, for those not in the know, the "snack trap" is this supposedly handy cup with a lid that kids can put their hands through to take out a snack. It's supposed to prevent the snacks from spilling out everywhere. Lucy, however, seems to have perfected a snack-trap technique that evades the product's supposed spill-prevention mechanism, and she regularly dumps the snack trap contents everywhere.]
Here, you can see her demonstrating her technique, triumphantly.
As E's dad once told me, as he stopped me while I was trying to take away a toy from a niece who had just dropped it,"It's ok. Do you have any idea how much dirt kids eat?"
