Hair makes it not ok?

So Will went to Oak Glen for a field trip. The next day he got caramel apples. I was unaware of the apples in his backpack. On the way to soccer Will decided to have a little "snack". When we get there he has a huge blob of caramel on his shorts. He say its ok because he is going to get dirty at practice anyway.  Ok Ok I let it go. Except that during practice I see him scraping something off his shorts and then EATING it!!! Gross. Myself and the other moms watching. Yes, other knew of my bad parenting, just laughed. When we got in the car I said, "Hey Will,maybe next time you have food on your clothes don't scrape it off and eat it."
To which he said "Why? I was hungry?"  I said, "It's really gross." Will responds, "No it isn't. It not like it had hair on it."  EWWWW That is my four year old standard of nutrition. Just no hair!!!!! Let us review the vegan post......
