George has some odd toddler behaviors. One of these is that he likes to gnaw on raw sweet potatoes while sitting in grocery carts. He first exhibited this behavior while I was shopping for Thanksgiving dinner last November. The other day we were shopping in the produce aisle and he started whimpering and lurching out of the cart. Turns out we were near the sweet potato section. I picked one up and he grabbed it out of my hands and commenced chewing. Other kids whine for candy, mine wants a raw tuber.

Super Market Eating by DH
When DH was George's age I always gave him a banana when we went through the produce section and always paid for it when we checked out. One day while I was distracted he turned around and opened a pound of butter and took a bite. He was always curious and constantly talking, so much so, I got a scolding for telling him to "be quiet."
