My Significant Other tells me that she had a moment of horror today, when she caught the Round Faced Girl alone, happily eating something. Nothing untoward you might think, but the problem, my wife mused, was that our daughter was in the living room and had not been given anything to eat for some time.
In these circumstances, the thoughts of every parent will immediately turn to the potential risks and hazards that lurk in every domestic setting. Had our beloved first born munched some dangerous object such as a fifty pence piece? Was she choking on some stray piece of plastic packaging? Had she snacked on some safety pins?
"Round Faced Girl - what are you eating?" inquired my panic stricken Significant Other, with thoughts of the lifelong involvement of social services fleeting across her thoughts.
My daughter rooted around in her mouth for a moment or two, and produced the remnants of her feast.
"Would you like a wee bogie?" she asked happily, holding her snack aloft on her triumphant index finger.
