“So I was a grown adult, and I still don’t know why I did this.”

“So I was a grown adult, and I still don’t know why I did this. Call it lizard brain or whatever. I was walking by a big Elephant Ear plant and got the urge to tear off a little piece and put it in my mouth.

You know those things are poisonous? Me neither. It coats your throat and mouth more or less in fiberglass. So I had to call Poison Control and explain the situation. I didn’t have a good reason for doing it, and I still don’t. They didn’t accept that as an answer and thought I was somehow mentally challenged.

I could barely talk because of the dumb situation I put myself in, and then the Poison Control rep thought I had a disability due to my speech. They asked me to put my caretaker on the phone. That was a low point, lmao.”
