Default To eat, or not to eat

After dinner tonight, Wifey was clearing the table and I was tending to our ten-month-old rugrat in her highchair. We had chicken for supper, and I was going to give her a chicken bone to chew on but I was sufficiently fussed out by said Wifey. She said that was trash, and that I shouldn't be giving our child trash to eat. I told her it wasn't trash until it was thrown away and gotten all germy, that it was far too big to be swallowed, had plenty of flavor left, and would harmlessly pacify her.

What say you?

Well, considering they tell you to never ever give a dog a chicken bone, because chicken bones can splinter easily and cause the dog to choke, I'd say don't give it to your kid....

I doubt her little jaws are as bone-splinteringly strong as those of a dog. Valid point, however.

She probably has a couple teeth but there is no way that she would have been able to crush the bone like a dog. I think as long as you made sure there was no grissle she was going to get off and watched her closely so she didn't crack a tooth or the bone, sounds good to me. I would probably get slapped upside the head for even thinking about it though.

And to answer your main question, I would not consider it trash. My objection is purely based on the choking hazard aspect. I agree that it's not trash until it's been in the garbage.

I would agree unless you put your napkin on top of it or it was sitting in the salad dressing or something like that. Then it isn't so much trash, just gross.

JERRY: So lemme get this straight: you find yourself in the kitchen. You see an éclair, in the receptacle. And you think to yourself, "What the hell, I'll just eat some trash."
GEORGE: No, no. No, no, no. It was not trash!
JERRY: Was it in the trash?
GEORGE: Yes.
JERRY: Then it was trash.
GEORGE: It wasn't down in, it was sort of on top.
JERRY: But it was in the cylinder!
GEORGE: Above the rim.
JERRY: Adjacent to refuse, is refuse.
GEORGE: It was on a magazine! And it still had the doily on.
JERRY: Was it eaten?
GEORGE: One little bite.
JERRY: Well, that's garbage.
GEORGE: But I know who took the bite. It was her aunt!
JERRY: Well, you, my friend, have crossed the line that divides Man and Bum. You are now a Bum.

First off, you should have eaten yourself.

Secondly, I always look at the potential upside and downside of things. Upside: she gets a little chicken. Downside: she chokes on the bone and possibly dies. Even without kids, I wouldn't have give it to her.

You think I root for the Dodgers because they're in first place? Obviously you root for the Giants because you think they're a good team. I've rooted for the Dodgers my whole life, first place or last. You're just a bandwagon jumper. You're not a real fan.
