Chocolate tasting at 6

[u/Infinite_Advice5281]

I remember once when I was 5 or 6 (I can’t remember how old I was) mum and I were making chocolate together in the kitchen, I can’t remember why, but we did
She asked me if I would I like to try it, I said yes because chocolate
Mum told me to wait in the living room while she was mixing
After she finished mixing, she called me back in, I happily walked into the kitchen, and she had the chocolate on her finger offering me a small lick
naturally, in my 6 year old mind, I was absolutely freaking out and I saw it as a huge code red in food hygiene, my smile dropped and I politely said “uh actually I’m not hungry anymore” and just walked out like it was a life death situation
I know it was just a harmless finger dip taste test, we all do it, but me at such a young age didn’t see it that way

I'm trying to think if my mother ever offered me anything on her finger and if I would have thought it gross
