Mother of the year here! We were outside, DS had a bowl of raisins. He likes showing us what he's eating a lot, he'll hold it up, and DH or I will say "yep, eat it, it's good!".
Well, he was standing there by his bowl of raisins, holding up one. I said "it's yummy, eat it!". He did. I didn't realize the dark thing he was holding up was a clump of mud, not a raisin. He made a horrible face, cried, and puked. It took some convincing to get him to eat the raisins again (one of his favorite things to eat!).
