Honey contains Play-Doh

According to some of us, that is the case. 

It happened a couple of years ago, when our son was only about 3 years old.  He was going through that phase of wanting to eat the strangest of things.  His delicacy of choice:  brand new (fortunately not used) play-doh. 

I had tried and tried to get him to stop, but he's as sneaky as he is smart, so unbeknownst to me one day in the month of May (gratuitous, it just rhymed) he entertained his palate with a few bites of the (I imagine) very chewey stuff.  Was this his version of poor man's bubble gum?  Or did my rule of "no bubble gum because you swallow it" make him so desperate that he, not unlike a junkie, found anything to satisfy that cheap thrill???

Play-doh Junkie decided to cap off his meal with some honey.  He had been so good and quiet (I still didn't know anything) that I told him yes, he could have a little spoon of honey while he sat watching TV.

Then it came: "Mommy!!!  I don't feel good!!!!"  and he promptly started throwing up.  As I held him while he puked trying to help him through what I think is one of the worst feelings in the world, I started to see chunks of green blob seeping out of his little mouth.  "WHAT the...???" 

I cannot explain what I felt at that point.  I knew he had only eaten that little bit of honey, and earlier on he'd only had cereal, which did NOT look anything like green blob...   So while racing through the mommy filing cabinet in my brain, searching for the answer to what this could be all these thoughts came up: 

"Did I give him too much honey?", "Did he sneak more honey and gulp it down suddenly so he wouldn't be caught?", "Was there some kind of odd chemical reaction to honey mixed with Honey Bunches of Oats?", "Do the 2 honeys produce green blobby offspring?", "DOES HONEY CONTAIN GREEN BLOBBY MOLECULES THAT COME TOGETHER IN ONE'S STOMACH IF YOU INGEST TOO MUCH???"

The laboratory assistant in me took over and I grabbed one of the slippery suckers.  It felt like slimy play-doh, it had the consistency of play-doh, it was the color of the play-doh I'd recently boug...  DANG IT!!! 

So last night and two years later, little one wanted mini waffles for desert.  He wanted syrup with them which I did not have.  So I gently suggested he try them with honey, "You'll like it, it's really good with waffles" I said.  "NOOOOO, MOMMY!!!!!!!" he screamed, terrifying fear in his voice, "HONEY HAS PLAY-DOH IN IT!!!!!!"

Did you know that?
