Putty

 There’s this putty that occupational therapists use. It comes in different colors. Each color has a different strength. The easiest is tan. I think of it as flesh colored. When I first started in occupational therapy I was given the tan one to work with. I had to roll it against the table. Because sometimes I apparently have the sense of humor as a 10 year old boy, I couldn’t stop laughing because it looked like a penis. Like legit. I just couldn’t do it. Just give me another color for goodness sake. It’s been years and I still remember it. I know that putty is helpful to things like grip strength but I just could not get over the color. I think of that every single time putty is pulled out in therapy.
