Chewy suprise
I have just remembered this, it is what I think is called a flash memory, I can actually see the scene in my head it’s bizarre and I am slightly appalled, I guess it counts for both found memories and things found, curiosity bites!

~~ wiggly lines that dance into the past ~~

I was in my parents bedroom...playing I guess, doing whatever small children do, I think I was about three or four at the time. I happened to be on my Mother’s side of the bed (by the window) when I found the lovely shiny silver packets of –what I thought/hoped – were sweets. So I opened a packet and tried to eat it, it was chewy and not very tasty. I think that was when I figured they must be balloons as I tried to blow one up....no result. There were others opened beside the bed, I am going to hope that I didn’t try to chew on those ones. I honestly don’t recall (perhaps I have blocked out the really damaging memory!).

I suspect as a child I found many things and put them into my mouth, realising many years later that you found and tried to eat your parent’s condoms is horrifying.

click for you as i had an almost similar experience..
Found a condom in my mum's room when I must have been about 4 I think, asked her what it was and she decided to give me the long 'when two people love each other very very much' speech. At the end I said "oh so you can't eat it?"
"umm.. no"
"ok can i have a yoghurt then?"
