By no she wasn't high - 02/12/2013 02:50 - United States - Garland

Today, I had to explain to my daughter that just because it says non-toxic on the crayons, it doesn't mean that you should eat them. She's 16. FML

I guess you could say she's not the brightest crayon in the box.

Well maybe they tasted like snozzberries OP. You never know.

As the parent of a teenager with pica, we're always on the hunt for things he can satisfy his needs with that won't damage him. We've had a couple of people confuse him saying "they're non-toxic" for some sort of idiot belief that the non-toxic item is acceptable or encouraged to be eaten. He knows they're not - he's just trying to tell people he did his basic safety homework. I'd do a quick review of her phrasing, because she might be telling you something, lol

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt, and Pica ain't just a printing term. Just give her a few wax and she'll straighten up ;)

Get her iron levels checked-she could be anemic. People can crave all kinds of weird shit if anemic.

Well at least her poop will be of lively colors.

Maybe she had no skittles but still wanted to taste the rainbow.

When I was a little girl I never cared for coloring with crayons much. I didn't like the waxy feel of them on my hands or the paper. Plus they have no flavor at all.

Hmmm...I was never tempted to eat them. I was really into melting them onto the light bulb in my lamp. Made very pretty colors. :)

You did that too? I thought I was odd for loving to melt crayons on light bulbs.
