I just got back from lunch at a local gourmet deli type place. While I was there a young-ish woman and her baby sat down at the table across from mine. I noticed the baby because she was a cute little thing, maybe 7 or 8 months old. The woman was clearly waiting for some friends, and had gotten a Coke to sip while she waited. The baby started fussing so the woman GAVE HER BABY A DRINK OF HER COKE. Her Coca-Cola. Her caffeinated, carbonated, full of sugar and caramel coloring SODA. TO HER INFANT. I'm still trying to get my eyeballs back in their sockets.
*boggle*
Yeah, some parents makes me wonder why there isn't a mandatory test for people before being allowed to procreate.

WHAT!?!? I still haven't even let Lyle have a sip of Coke, and I drink them daily! He just thinks it's for grownups only (not sure how long I can keep that up). WOW. That is crazy.

Nothing surprises me anymore and I agree with there being a test before anyone can have children. My dad used to say the same thing (he was a social worker), so he saw it all.
