We took our youngest (at that time) five children to take photos for a company promo, and the lady in charge of the project was all gushy over the children. She started talking to hubby and me about them, and we shared some funny stories. Then it got weird. She started asking us if we had heard of "indigo children." I just smiled and pretended to listen. I couldn't wait to get out of there to look up what kind of lunacy the concept was/is. It was very weird. Thankfully, our weirdest and most intuitive child was not around. She would have thrown the woman for a loop. (she does me.) I think the woman was fairly convinced hubby and I were a part of this crowd, and we had successfully bred seven more with one on the way at the time. It was very, very weird.

I admit that hubby and I are kind of odd. We're married. We're Christian. We have eight children. We're conservative. What else could the woman have seen in us? lol

Well, my parents did. I love rain storms with thunder and lightning. Dad built me my own little cubbyhole so I could watch the show and not get soaked.

But if I had said that I needed energy they would have either offered me a sandwich or sent me to my room for a nap.

To soothe the guilt, these morons somehow create the illusion that these few children are "special". >>

Yep, special ed., many have are spoiled and have behavioral problems in school and are subsequently classified.

They are enlightened by Satan and by weird, anti-God, new-age parents.

"I'm sure the other poster was keying in on the "possessed of a deep desire to help the world and, often, able to bond easily with animals" part of the description."

That's true, lol. And while I suppose some of them are like that.. lots of them just pretend that's what they have in mind, going from the sorts of people they elect and support, which is what I was sort-of trying to say. I'm sorry I forgot to address that part of it, but it was after midnight and I was tired. (I have a tendency to sound either incredibly stupid/grumpy or high on something when I'm tired. I know, I know, lame excuse. xP)

"So, by which color do you wish to be referred? ;-)" Hmmm. You know that really pretty blue-grey known as "slate"? I think I'd like that color. :-D

"BTW, welcome to FR! You've been busy!" Thanks! I blame it alllll on my mom. :D

The fact that they never eat at Taco Bell explains a lot...

"...for my name is Legion."

Exactly what I thought. Demonic.
