Oral fixations

Bee coz...I clearly had some kind of oral fixation as a child that still lingers there a bit (it's a phase all babies go through) I look at this picture and I can tell you (at the risk of making myself sound any crazier than I am) what it would taste and feel like to lick the glass bottle. Go ahead and laugh!

I know it's odd but I used to like to lick glass as a child as well as shiny metal and the texture of towels, i knew it was odd so as i got older i remember trying not to let people see me do it, don't know how successful I was at that!

My favorite thing in the world to lick was a glass clown that my mum had, it was awesome, it had a smooth body and little bumps for the nose, eyes and buttons!

One day I was watching the Bill and saw the same clown on one of the sets and I knew I had seen one before but couldn't remember where i knew I loved it and what tasted like so I messaged my mum to ask if we had one when I was little. I can't remember if she knew I used to lick it or not! Probably did as she would have to clean it!

The worst thing is everything in my house was clean but not so much out side my house - that's the bit that makes me cringe now!

I can tell you the texture and taste of a telephone boxes, bus stop poles, hand rails, cars (new v's old), the metal corners on the seats of a double decker bus (note don't lick the ones up stairs they taste of tobacco) to name a few, but the best things to lick were the rails on the outside deck of the Isle of Man boats - they were so salty! The deck however tasted of petrol!

To this day the site of a rail, nice piece of coloured glass or a fresh towel still makes my mouth water but at least I don't need to lick them anymore :)

Just another small insight in to my wacky world.
