On Training a Very Small Ninja

Know what this is a picture of?

This is my kid, eating chocolate shavings off the side of a birthday cake over the weekend. Where would she the idea that something like that is OK in polite company?

From her great-grandfather, who was taking the chocolate shavings off and handing them to her. Because hey, why not?

I mean, really, it's totally fine to stick your fingers in somebody else's birthday cake if your Poppy says it's OK, right? *shrugs*

Kids these days, with their mouths full of chocolate and giggles and kisses. I don't know where they learn this behavior.
