Oh and what’s fucked up is the new hit thing that previously was rubber popper pads, and prior to that was fidget spinners, in the sensory room (the new friendly name for what used to be called the “Time Out” room) at schools and in therapist’s offices is that kinetic sand stuff
And two weeks ago I was like no way am I gonna watch this kid play with this stuff and not play with it as well, as I’m a fidgeter too. And she had already faked about to eat it making me forcefully say “don’t eat that it will make you sick!” And she said “it smells like candy”
And after she handed it to me, it smelled like cotton fucking candy! And was fluffy white color? I was like “why would they make this inedible kids product smell like cotton candy?” And she was like 8 so her response was an expected confused face. Then I went back to the assessment and mentioned it to the teacher, and she was just as baffled as me
It reminded me of the whole tide pod fiasco. I dunno if this is all types of this “sand” but what the fuck?
