In the situation where the little boy (he was about 3) was throwing
ketchup dipped fries at me, we were in a restaurant (nope, it wasn't
McDonald's) so I didn't want to cause a scene. I was also only about 20
years old at the time so I was not at all sure what to do about her kid
throwing food at me.

OB Food: if he'd dipped them in mayo the stains on my blouse wouldn't
have been so obvious.
