Okay, how about this one. You use your extra scoby baby to help your child with sensory integration. My son has lots of sensory issues, so touching the scoby helps him get a feel of slimy things. You can tell it bothers him to touch it, but he thinks it is fun!! I could just only wonder what the neighbors would think. Is he playing with boogers!! Shocked

My daughter also loves to play with my extra scobies. Whatever floats your boat!!

Amen ... the prayer list insert in the church bulletin usually has an uncanny resemblance to the current topics on WTM.

My almost 2yo dd climbs up into my lap and asks for a, "pro-oggic, mama?" (probiotic)
And the same dd can be motivated to quickly finish her meal so that she can have her two softgel CLO to chew up Tongue

My 3 1/2 yo dd starts singing (to the tune of "I don't wanna be a goat-nope") "I don't wanna be a GOOT-girl, NOPE!"

Thank- God for health! Our children have only been to the hospital to see grandma a few times, and rare Dr visits, that they can't even remember anymore!

You know you are a wellteller when... you bring in the groceries, along with new canning supplies (we are making applesauce with fresh, wild apples) and the 5 year old daughter exclaims as she digs through the bags, "Oh good! Momma bought lemon juice... and... powder...?" Huh

*I bought sugar, on a whim, because I couldn't remember if we "needed" it for the applesauce. Wink

Guess it has been a good, long while since she has seen white sugar. Grin

You know your a WTM'er when your 9 year old daughter wakes up before everyone else does to go out and gather fresh eggs to make for everyone. And gathers plantain leaves & seeds, dandelions flowers, chocolate mint, wild carrot flowers, clover flowers & leaves, lambsquarter leaves and wild pears to clean and cut up for a nice all natural salad for her mother for breakfast. She served up the salad and eggs on a tray with OJ and a bowel of cereal. I was impressed!

WTM has helped me learn alot about wild food/herbs.

When your family no longer trusts you.... everybody has been sick & I have been dosing them w/ all the herbs in my arsenal. Yesterday just for fun I made a Christmas punch & served it up in pretty glasses; when I handed my daughter hers, she looked at it suspiciously & asked "WHAT is it? and how much elderberry is in it?"
She totally thought I was trying to sneak some other concocotion into her Shocked

That is funny. This summer at camp, we were with a group of friends and they were talking about going to McDonalds to get icecream and my 8 year old says "You mean they have ice cream at McDonalds?!?!". Yeah- my poor kids are so deprived.

we were driving up to the grocery store, when my 10 year old asks, "what is that drive through for?" so i tell him it's for the pharmacy. he looks at me funny, as though not to know what a pharmacy is. so i tell him, "you know, for prescriptions" he still looks confused. i said, "remember--antibiotics??? you know when we used to go to the dr. and he would give us a paper that said what medicine to go get at the pharmacy & you'd have to take it???"
he says "ooohhh, now i remember!" Grin

we had a really good laugh! i think it's been since he was about 5 or 6 that we last went for a prescription! we <3 WTM!!!

My 16 yr old daughter spent an afternoon with a friend from church. She told us that she tried and tried to explain to her friend that apple cider vinegar can be diluted to be used for so MANY things; it will soften and clear up her complexion, replace conditioner for her hair, and so on. She was dismayed that her friend was extremely skeptical and continues to use all her 'Product', as dd calls it. Cheesy

"After all," dd said, "the vinegar smell is completely gone once it dries, and then you just spritz with a Bath & Body works spray or an ess. oil spray and that's the only smell you have."

I had just put some in the dog's eye b/c it's a little infected from the cat scratching her & had set it down next to the keyboard w/out thinking.

Then too, you know your a WTMer when you're treating both DH's eye infection (the eye Dr found it earlier this week when DH went in for an eye test) & the cat scratch in the dog's eye with the same treatment. Grin
