I love it! It exfoliates my feet, I use it to make little sand castles and other sculptures, and it cleans off of my stuff with just a little spray of water!
Could be, as I had, and still have, a giant ceramic Vader 'lamp' that scared the fuck out of me as a kid, hence the hate, and not just because he's a dick in Star Wars.
Granted that would mean I was clairvoyant as a kid, given that the hatred of sand wasn't known until 20+ years later. MAYBE I AM FORCE SENSITIVE!
At 3, I already had a kid I hated. I know this because apparently I saw him one day, made sure to point him out to my parents and blatantly told them I hate him. At least that's how my mom tells it.
3 yo me was right to hate that kid. From age 3 to senior year, that kid was a Grade A douchebag.
