How did I become THAT mom?

Today at Target, I let my son play with a toy, bite on it, drool on it, etc on it. Then, I put it back. I never really intended to buy it. But I knew he would like to play with it for a couple minutes. Then it hit me: I am part of the problem.

He didn't do damage to the toy--it was just drooly and wet. The rest of the consumers will probably think that is gross. They may be right. But at the time, I didn't really care about what other people thought.

Do other parents out there act crazy and irresponsible like this? Or am I the only one? Or is this one of those things, like pooping, that people do but don't talk about?
