#24: Things Not to Lick
Did anyone else really love licking envelopes when they were a kid? I remember being so excited whenever I was sending someone a letter and I got to pull down our box of envelopes, stuff the letter in one, and then lick it to seal it. And don’t judge me, but I think what I liked was the taste, which is proof that I had terrible judgment when I was a child.
The point is, sealing envelopes is not only normal, but it can also be kind of fun if you’re young and stupid, like I was. However, there are a lot of things in life that you shouldn’t lick. Doorknobs, subway seats, and other people immediately spring to mind. But windows would be a special kind of weird if someone on the other side got a front-row seat to the view down your throat.
