Latex Free.....

So a mom comes into my office saying her kid is allergic to latex and that she could buy whatever we used that had it. i was like okay, rubber bands is the first thing that comes to mind. they should sell them online, lets google it and see what comes up..i google "latex free" and google, being the smartie that it is, assumes im looking for condoms; trojan, lifestyles etc etc..yes, all latex free. it was awkward...
