    The unfortunate answer is that it knows through long forgotten experience… Anything a toddler sees goes in the mouth.

      Some toddlers have helicopter parents who never let them put anything in their mouth. Will they be stunted in their growth and development and sensory skills?

        I think you might be onto something.

        I have no idea how dick would feel on my tongue, because I’ve never had one on my tongue.

          Interesting. Yes.

          If you feel this as a loss, I’m sure that if you let this be known widely enough in your friend group, someone will offer to help you out with the missing sensory data.

          And if not, there’s definitely an app for that. Just put that on your profile.

          You’ve never had dick on your tongue because you had helicopter parents who made sure you didn’t put anything in your mouth that isn’t food?

        Oh, these kids will make their experiences whatsoever. Even helicopter parents need to do stuff from time to time and kids somehow KNOW if they are not watched, ever for a second. It might take longer to make all the experience one needs, but they will get them one way or another.
