Reminds me of long-ago camping trips with my babies. The "ring around
the mouth" was a sight to behold. They ate more dirt than food.

I laughed so hard I nearly fell out of the chair when I read that. My
nephew would try out different delicacies when we were picnicing
(heaven forbid a truly tasty item like a potato chip would fall into
the dirt) and was truly puzzled at all the hubub when he was caught
with the "ring around the mouth".
