I am so thankful my kid doesn't have allergies!
A stranger at the wedding (the gf to my cousins dad, so a stranger to us) fed R frosting off of HER fork! Thank goodness I didn't have to freak out because of an allergy, the EWWWWWW factor was enough!
I was on one side of the dance floor and he was dancing, he went over by the table and I just caught her offering up her fork. Who the heck does that? Sure, Papa will give him 1/2 of his cheese and cracker or a bite of ice cream...but that is 110% different! My dad even knew better before R was 1 to ask before he did it.
But a stranger, who does not know a lick about a kid? Gross

That is sooooooooo gross!!
DH's grandfather gave our nephew (who is VERY allergic to basically everything: eggs, nuts, dairy, soy, wheat...) a taste of frosting at a party once...and it was like panic mode. My SIL had to wisk him away and give him a dose of benadryl and wait to see if he had a reaction. She caries around a syringe of adrenaline and everything for her twins...and has to cook EVERYTHING...it is SUCH hard life. They will be going to K this year and she is so worried - joking that she will just sit in her car in the parking lot all day!
There are so many things parents have to worry about anyway - but to add something like allergies in too I can't even imagine. We have an older boy in the nursery at church that has a severe nut allergy and they have signs outside his age group classroom that it is a nut free room and kids wash their hands before coming in and all that. But just such a scary thing.
And ya, that is weird and gross anyway of that lady. My mom's cousin took the binky out of dd's mouth when she was like a month old and let her suck on her pinky. I had to work pretty hard to only take her away and say something mild about germs when in reality I wanted to break her hand. Yuck. I could care less that my kid plays with rocks and dirt and sticks. And I know she gets exposed to people's germs with our day to day activities, but something like that is so easily avoided!
