I got tired of Eva chewing up her shirts.
And her pencils, and her shirts, and her bracelet of beads which is bound to fall apart sooner or later, and her shirts. I did NOT tell her that at her age, I gnawed on my shirts as well. I certainly didn't tell her I used to tear off the corners of pages in books for the joy of placing them against my tongue and feeling them dissolve. (I did tell her that Jenn used to rub glue all over her hands because she liked peeling it off. That seems a fairly harmless hobby, unlike the shirts.)
Instead, I caved and ordered her a chewy necklace, and now Ana wants one too. Well, if it keeps them both happy.

I feel okay about the rainbow profile pics being studied, I think - I want my voice to be measured in that sense. I do try to be aware of how much data I give to Facebook, but that one felt important.

Mostly harmless
My brother used to do this... but only because he enjoyed sniffing glue.
