Infestation by Strawberry Gnomes

Last night for dessert, I washed the last of a package of strawberries, trimmed the tops, put them in a bowl and placed the bowl on the coffee table for the enjoyment of The Boy and me. (The Man was out last night.) He ate one or two while I was puttering about putting things away and getting ready for bed.

In a bleary haze last night, I picked up the remains and put them in the fridge.

This morning I pulled them out and realized that the bottom tips of all the strawberries were eaten off. Each one, neatly bitten. 

Mental note to self: if you care about germs, don't leave toddler unattended with strawberries.
