What would prompt a child to eat the table decorations? Max looked a the tiny heart shaped "filler" pieces under the candles and decided they looked edible. He shared his 'find' with his cousins. "They looked like sprinkles", he explains. "And they were kinda sweet. So we ate them." (In actuality, it was wedding rice. To throw at the bride and groom instead of confetti. Safe for birds. Not recommended for humans.) Oy.
