I am so grossed out!

Today after church, we went to a local Mexican restaurant to eat. Normally, the kids will get a taco, beans and rice for their meals. Well, today, Alexis decided to get chicken fingers. That was fine, I said.

Well, our meals came and she dug into her food. About ten minutes later, I look over at her and she says to me, "Mom, what is this?" On her plate was this sort of chewed up looking pinkish blob. I didn't have any idea what it was. Josh was sitting next to her and he looks at her plate and realizes that her chicken fingers are totally raw! I mean, they looked lightly breaded, and maybe slightly seared on each side, then pink, pink in the inside.

At this point, we realize she's eaten 1.5 out of the 3 on her plate. We tell her immediately not to eat any more and call the waitress over to show her the food.Thankfully, she takes the food away (and mumbles something about there being a new cook) and brings her a beef soft taco instead. In the mean time, Josh and I (and the rest of our crowd) have about lost our appetites thinking about how poor Alexis ate raw chicken! They took her meal off of the check, so at least that was something.

I really hope she doesn't get sick. Food poisioning isn't fun. At this point she seems okay, but we'll see how the night goes.
