[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 384428, member: 1233"] I wish I could explain it. When I worked in a restaurant there were always some families that did this. We had one bizarre lady we had to bar because she would walk up to strangers and just reach out her fork or hand and take some of their food - without asking or even knowing the people!!!!! It drives me nuts when it is done with-o asking ahead of time. I often share a dish with one of the kids, or we get two entrees and share instead of splitting one. No way would someone get a bite of my dessert. They would have a fork stuck through their hand if they tried. (My father actually did this when he was in college. Some kid came up and tried to take a bite of his pie and my father put a fork through his hand. It was eons ago before people pressed charges much, so no one got my dad into trouble. His dorm was pretty wild though.) The kids and I share with clean forks, usually before we start eating, mostly because germs. I did got through YEARS when Jess would ONLY eat what was on my plate if we went out. She would pick a kid's meal and then refuse to eat it, and want some of my food. I usually have food to take home, so I got a full meal, but it was annoying. Esp when thank you did the same dang thing when he was old enough for solid food - which was after Jess had stopped that annoying habit!! [/QUOTE]
