How rude!

I know you thought that I had finished but this was too good to pass up.

I went to a coffee-shop this morning (as I'm still allowed to do) and Emilia was happily chewing on my car-keys fob while I queued to order a coffee.

A woman from a nearby sofa looked up and said "Should she be doing that?". I laughed and replied that it hadn't broken the fob yet then went back to choosing the type of bean I wanted.

This woman was obviously not done yet and continued "But what about the germs?" so I answered that it's all going to building her immune system and hoped that would be the end of it as - if I'm honest - her tone was starting to grate.

Unfortunately this woman wouldn't let it go and (as though she wanted to speak to a manager) said, "So where's Mum then?". I quickly said "Working" but really wanted to continue "not that it's any of your business, you nosey cow!"

Apparently I'm not able to make decisions about what my daughter can and cannot chew on.

For the record, Emma doesn't let Emilia chew on the keys only because she's worried the keys will break.
