Yay for two, the age of Play-Dough food. I remember pretending to eat a Play-Dough creation that my son offered and then spending the next three years trying to get my son to NOT eat Play-Dough. D’oh!!

Awesome, you're back! Good to see you again!

He is not allowed to have Play-Do, lol. I know, mean mommy, but maybe once we move into a HOUSE and not an apartment, I'll let him roam a smidge bit freer. I still have to paint over the crayon marks before we move. IF we get to move.

Hi!


Play Dough tasted too salty for me to ever eat much of it. Funny I still remember that!

Good thinking. Play-Dough and carpet are not friends.


KC, I will never forget the salty taste of Play-Dough! And doesn't school paste taste like mint? I should mention that I did NOT eat paste voluntarily.



Greetings, Arcry!

I used to love to eat Play-Do XD Then my mother told me if I did, I'd grow up with stomach problems and have to go to the hospital every week because it never digested XD

WOO HOO! Arcry! Long time no see !!!!!!

My mom told me that about swallowing gum. Eventually I got up the nerve to confess to my grandmother that I had endangered my own life through the evil practice of gum-swallowing. My grandmother promptly swallowed her gum so that I would stop worrying. She was awesome.

My mom said the same to me, and said it would stay in my system for 7 years and I'm get fat because of the giant ball of gum in my gut. I think I quit chewing gum for a looooong time lol

I was told swallowing apple seeds would grow an apple tree inside me, watermelon seeds grow watermelons, etc. Ditto on the gum-swallowing "gumming up" my inerds.

Same here! I still chewed on apple seeds though, and still do.

Chewed them! Urk! No, I kind of swallowed them whole by accident. However I did eat minty paste and salty play-dough and was not forced into it. It tasted good.

Apple seeds taste good to me, lol

And that's why I love coming back here, always such a warm welcome. Like a well worn stop on the road of life. Be rain pounding outside or snow and cold cutting through the air, this little forum remains a warm little inn filled with friends and good tales. Ah..

On the subject of childhood shenanigans I was always a fan of salty things. Would never eat Play-Doh, only suck on it till nothing was left.

I would take a small piece and stick it on the roof of my mouth and rub my tongue against it until it dissolved. I thought it was awesome lol

Back in the eighties I went through a phase of drinking undiluted squash...Cordial stuff...Aaaaand this was back in the glorious days of E-numbers!!... ...

On a side note, I almost got sliced to pieces by an exploding milk collection jar in t'parlour tonight...I wasn't close enough to get actual damage, but still...Thoroughly unimpressed when there was bang and much large jagged bits flying everywhere...Y'know?...

GAAAAAH!


I had an AA battery explode once in my car while I was driving. Didn't know my car got that hot baking in the sunlight. At first I thought I'd been shot in some weird drive-by or something, was looking for blood but there was none.

I heard of a kid playing with his Game Boy when the four batteries exploded right in his hands. Don´t know how much he was hurt but I still think of it whenever I pick up mine..

It hit with force, and there was a loud "BANG!" sound - I seriously thought I'd been shot. I washed the acid off (both me and the inside of the car) quickly once I realized what had happened just in case it burned or something, but other than the initial impact - no, didn't hurt. More fear of not knowing what happened than anything else.

Often the case. But I suspect he could have gotten hurt if the shattered plastic from the battery cover cut him.

Did you have to get another car later?
