Friday was a scorcher here in Boston. The temperature was in the mid-nineties (low thirties for you metric folks).
Our big outing for the day was to go and get groceries while Kevin was at work. Yeah, fun stuff...
We got a bit of a later start than I would have liked, which meant that grocery shopping ran into lunch and nap time. Not a recipe for success!
I let Bekah have her pacifier in the store, but she was still coming unglued. As we came to the end of one of the isles, I noticed a table set up where a woman was giving out samples of some sort of beverage. She started chatting to Bekah and made an admirable attempt to distract her from her miserable state.
Bekah wasn't taking the bait, so the woman asked me to hold on, she was going to get Bekah a drink. It didn't register with me what was happening, until it was already taking place. The woman was giving Bekah a drink of the beverage that she had for sampling...and it was PEPSI! I watched as she took the pacifier out of my baby's mouth and gave her POP to drink! I was appalled!!
Thankfully, Bekah didn't like it and made a horrible face to prove it. I politely thanked the woman for her good hearted attempt at ending the whining and gave her back the remainder of the drink.
As well meaning as she was, I just couldn't believe that this woman would feed soda pop to a child who was still young enough to have a pacifier in her mouth!
