"Is that a dog bone your daughter is chewing on?"

Ok, so it happened in Jason's Deli. It is one of my son's favorite places to go! He says "Momma, Let's go to Jason's!" Anyway, back to the story. I was having lunch with my little girl (15 months old) and her grandparents. Well if you have children or seen children in restaurants, they are not always the quietest, or most content individuals in the place (at least mine aren't). EE was getting a little frustrated with the fact she was being contained, and not allowed to do exactly what she had in mind, so my mother took out a nylon dog bone that she bought for her Yorkies and handed it to EE. I really didn't think much about it because it kept her entertained, and I knew my mother would never give her something that was dirty! Like I said, I didn't really think much about until a lady at the next table said,

"Excuse me, I don't mean to be nosey or anything, but is that a dog bone your daughter is chewing on?!" Oh my goodness, what she must have thought!!!

"Actually, YES IT IS," I replied! "Sometimes you'll do anything to eat lunch in peace."

To which she replied "I was really just wondering if that was the NEW thing to teethe on! My daughter is fixing to have a baby, and I was going to get her one if it was."

Wow, was I relieved to find out she wasn't going to turn me in or anything for letting my daughter chew on a nylon dog bone!!! She actually thought it was kinda cool (hmmm). I told my Mom and she just laughed with me. I guess we should probably pay more attention, since you never know who is paying attention to us!
