What I mean you'll find girls are much more likely to be afraid/say ewww and yuk towards spiders and other such bugs then boys. Since that kind of behaviour is learned unless you have a traumatic experience, I find it's often because mums will point out a big house spider to their little girl and say "eww nasty spider, I'll squish it", something along those lines. Basically passing on the view that insects are "creepy crawlies" and are gross. Where as if you just said "that's a spider" and removed it from the room calmly, your child would grow up with a calm attitude when it came to coming across spiders and such like.

She screamed and spat out as it felt funny. I checked and the whole mass of sausage meat was moving.:eek:

I screamed and threw it across the room!

Perhaps it was just very poor quality meat with a lot of gristle in it and the movement was the "meat" springing back after your daughter sank her teeth into it.

A more considered look at the "evidence" (distasteful as it may have been) would have helped.

I have always thought that, but you are the first person I have found who believes it too.

If you watch toddlers, they will go into the garden, 'hunt' creepy crawlies and often eat them. It's only when the mother comes along and shows fear that they 'learn' to be afraid of them too. prior to that they are either a play thing or a tasty morsel.

How old was the daughter? It may have been her teeth moving.

I think the original post suggests she also saw the sausage meat moving herself, not just the daughter, that's how I read it anyway.

Oh believe me, it was moving! bearing in mind it had lay on the floor for at least a minute whilst she panicked. Imagine a sea anenome, little white things moving like a flower. It was like that. Horrid. Definatley thing it was fly larva now that had bred in the warm tub.

Forgot to say, I thought I had thrown the whole box in the bin, but in fact I had only threw the rolls away. I found the tub in the dishwasher about 10 minutes ago! (Don`t even remember doing it) Stuck to the sides are little brown specks that look like seeds. They must be the eggs. Too dark to be crumbs. Suffice to say it is also now in the bin and the dishes are getting an EXTRA hot wash tonight!
