Xander spits it out

I came into the kitchen the other day and found Xander on a chair at the counter near the candy bowl. There was some 'rejected' food on the counter. I looked at him and at the food. He looked at me and proudly proclaimed, "I spit it out, Mommy!" I asked him what it was. He didn't answer. I asked him, "Where did you get the food?" I was expecting him to point to the candy bowl. Instead, he pointed to the kitty treat jar. No wonder he spit it out. Yucko!
