I saw this recent post on this blog.
It reminded me of something certain people in my family do when they want to claim food like, say, a donut. But instead of spitting, they lick the wanted item.
Yup, they lick it.
There have been a couple times that licking the donut hasn't worked, and it was consumed by someone else.
Because sometimes, especially in a family, a lick does not a claim make.
