We got this brioche bread that is wrapped in paper along the bottom of the loaf which is weird to me because the thing is already in a plastic bag with a tie. At any rate, I didn't notice at first, toasted a slice, buttered it and ate it and realized I ate some paper. I peeled off the rest of the paper and ate the toast. The thing is, each slice has that paper along the bottom of the slice. I don't get it. Anyway, I quickly googled it to find out if I'd just poisoned myself and found out of course I hadn't. My girlfriend even laughed it off. I didn't used to worry about things like that, I would have shrugged it off immediately in the old days. Well, experience, influence and some aging has got me overly concerned for my safety and health now.

Uh oh! I usually stopped myself before it got down my throat. My former dog used to impress me..he was a dainty eater..and never ate paper or a wrapper in his life.

That is very funny because dogs usually ravage food.

I never toasted mine, but definitely remember times pulling paper out of my mouth. Pica is a disorder when people actually eat paper, chalk, and other odd items.
