Pica (n.) an abnormal appetite or craving for substances that are not fit to eat, such as chalk or clay.

I think Bailey may suffer from this.  I let her play outside with the kids while I cleaned up and found her sitting on this table, gnawing away on a brown piece of sidewalk chalk.  She didn't seem to be particularly enjoying it, but still wouldn't stop.  And this isn't the first time.  Ew.

    My 3 year old STILL eats weird stuff - I call him Pica Boy sometimes. He particularly likes strings/thread. He did get over sidewalk chalk, though.

    How is brown sidewalk chalk different from those Necco candies? And we keep eating them, hoping they'll get better.
