AIBU?
To give my dc wet grapes

Yes it's a grape thread, but not as we know it.
Met up with a friend today and I rinsed my dc some grapes, then cut them, (of course 
) then put them in a bowl and added yoghurt. My friend said, "I can't believe you give your children wet grapes!" She was laughing but also meant it, ifyswim. I said, "What?" and she explained that I should pat them dry.
I don't get it. They're wet inside anyway and water is fine from the tap, no? I know this friend gives her dc squash with tap water, so what is the problem?
Our dc started killing each other calling for us at this point so we forgot about it. I will ask her what she meant when I next see her, but in the meantime, I really need to know:
AIBU for giving my dc wet grapes?

I'm just impressed you washed them (yes I always cut them when my kids were small but rarely rinsed and they are ridiculously healthy teens now)
Why on EARTH would it matter if they were wet? I'm dying to know now!!!
The only thing I can think of is them being slippier -therefore choking hazard, however being cut up too that's not a problem.
Please update when you know why!:)

YANBU.
If more parents were as responsible and sensible as your friend and dried grapes for their children the world would be a better place.
It would improve the national economy by increasing water bills and keep wimmen busy so that only men could work in these difficult times of mass unemployment.
Does no-one realise how essential grape drying is?
