Mommy Confession #10



This one's gross, so consider yourself warned:

Yesterday, in the time it took me to hand a plate of pork chops to Mate to put on the grill, Ava gave me a minor heart-attack.  She pulled out the lining that sits in the meat packaging and licked it.  OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   I yelled no, which scared the heck out of her, but the damage was already done. I turned to Mate, who calmly said something like I hope there wasn't any bacteria on there.  You hope?!?!?!?!  I figured there must be something we should do, but he said just watch closely to make sure she didn't start showing any signs of illness.  I trust him, but I also hurried to brush Ava's teeth and am pretty sure I scraped off some taste buds in my attempt to clean her tongue.  We're relieved to report that she's fine, but I get a little nauseous just thinking about what she licked.
