the cute straws (that are grossing me out)
by Kerry
This is a quirky post today. Completely off topic from anything – neither here nor there.
But………..
Am I the only one who gets grossed out by these straws after they’ve been used as -
well,
STRAWS??!!?
The gag reflex seriously kicks in a bit, I must say, when I have to grab these “suckers” out of my kids’ cups to throw them away. They not only take on the color of what’s being slurped – but they get mushy and lose the cuteness factor pretty much immediately.
Even hubs threw one in his smoothie the other morning as he headed out to work – took a couple sips, and got this look on his face like “Yeah, this isn’t going to work.”
Is it funny/strange/odd/crazy that this bugs me so??
Oh well.
So I guess this means I’m sticking to using these paper tubes as crafty only items now.
And I’m fine with that.
Which reminds me ~ link me any cute straw crafts you’ve created or seen. Gracias.
Happy hearts week!
Your post made me giggle. Are they made of paper? If so, I would totally get yucked out.
Yes. Bums me out, but they’re sooooo cute ; )
yes. yes. yes. i have thought that ever since i first saw these and knew i could never use them because they had to get yucky and mushy. eww! lol
It’s true : /
Haha this is the first time I’ve seen this but I’d get grossed out too if they got all mushy from the liquid.
Just be glad you didn’t see these (used) during your first trimester!!
I have never seen these. They do sound gross! Paper straws??
So you’re looking for some good kid’s reading material? What age group? My boy is 10 and he LOVES the Sons of Angels series by Jerel Law. There’s only 2 books out right now but he is hooked on them. My daughter (8) likes Ivy and Bean, not Christian based but they’re fun. Does that help any?
Just say no to gross straws…
Yes! – check my previous post…
YES! I totally hate the cardboard feeling..it’s so weird!!
Oh good, glad it’s not just me ; )
