Last night I had a meeting with my 4 year old’s counselor. A number of times she insisted that my daughter has some sort of disease because she doesn’t like the way some socks, shoes, pants, and shirts feel on her. I can’t remember exactly what the disease is, but the counselor insisted that only a few percent of people get bothered by seams and tags in their clothing. She even went so far as to tell me that she can wear shirts backwards, socks upside down and not notice it at all unless someone says something to her.

The counselor also knows someone who can help, she evaluates the child, for $500 an hour, and then recommends a treatment. There were some other things that this woman has said that make me think that she’s full of the woo woo.

Poll coming in a minute.

I’ve asked for this to be closed so I can add a poll.
