overheard in peds clinic

And oh I wish I was making this up.

Resident: Has your [9 month old] baby started eating solid foods yet?

Dad: Well, yes. Mostly we feed him skittles.

::long pause::

Resident: I'm not sure that we would recommend skittles for a nine month old. They're a choking hazard.

Dad: No, it's okay. I chew them up for him first.

Aww, it's like mama-bird & baby-bird!

Yikes! Maybe it's time to revisit the idea of requiring training and a license before folks can make a baby. Wait, I'm not allowed to say that.
