Who didn't play with Play-Doh?

[Cranky]

I know a lot of kids did but I wasn't one of them....didn't even the like the way it felt or smelled.

the real question is........ "did you eat it?"

the real question is........ "did you eat it?"

By the time the stuff came out to the market as a toy I was old enough to know better not to eat stupid stuff and we didn't live in a house that was heated by coal so there was no reason to use the old product for cleaning....

Kind of figured that but thought I would reply to it anyways

what a child does with play dough is a good indicator of intelligence.

 

[eldubb440]

I would go so far as to say play dough is probably racist

Well I knew how to shift a 3-speed transmission when I was five and there was no Play-Doh involved lol

The kids had the greatest impact with
my play-dough interaction. Scraping
the stuff off the walls and ceilings.
Once I showed them how to soften the
stuff when it got a little dry, that little
devil on their shoulder told them where
to throw it.
Their interaction with play-dough
ceased soon after.
P.S.
I once lived in a house with a coal
fired furnace, and my first 2 years in
school were in a one-room school
house.

When I was at primary school, the teachers made their own version of play-doh. It was horrible, and they added salt to prevent the kids eating it.

One kid in my class used to shove the stuff up his nose.....weird kid.

It tasted bad.......

No. Tasted it. YUCK. Did not actually eat it. I survived.

Nope. Mom didn't allow any toys that might lead to a mess in the house - Play Doh, finger paints, or even a sandbox.

You wanted a sandbox in your house?

No such thing when I was a kid. And I have a mother like "copper67sat" - a complete introvert who still cleans her house top to bottom every day at the age of 90 !!

I lived in a town of 40k when I was a kid but the school I went to had 5 grades and 5 rooms.....

They were out there.....was one of them but play-doh wasn't one of the weird things to play with.

Figured it did just by the way it stank.

Sounds more like OCD. My sister does the same thing. Dang house is more like a model home with everything in it being perfect and constantly making sure it stays that way....and she's no introvert.

I still play with play-doh

Tried to edit out that man instead of deleting the whole post but the system wouldn't let me.....
