Ever since i was a kid, i hated to play with play dough. I remember i played with it once, and i think that's when i developed this grossed out feeling I had towards it. I mostly really hate the texture, and when we had to use it in preschool, it went under my nails and it made me want to vomit. Everytime i played with it, i couldn't get the weird feeling of its texture off my hands, and i repeatedly washed my hands after touching it. I also hate its smell and it makes me want to vomit even more. Just thinking about it makes me feel so disgusting and it ruins my appetite. I'm writing this because tomorrow we're going to do sculpting, and it makes me want to get dropped out because i know its not the only time we're going to do it either. I don't think i can use gloves to make it less of a gross experience for me either. Unfortunately.

    It's normal to have textural dislikes.

    I always liked t the smell of playdough in kindergarten. But i remember not wanting to use the playdough after my classmate 'booger' had played with it. Looking back, it's kinda disgusting thinking about all that playdough going through all those kids hands.
