Doody Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Hi all, Just a light hearted story that happened to me yesterday. My daughter is nearly 6 years old, and really enjoying being involved with keeping Chickens, she has even started eating eggs now, as she wouldnt touch them with a barge pole 12 days ago (Only had Chickens 12 days now) Anyway, i bought a bag of mealworms for the Chickens, and i keep them in a storage shed outside. They arent the live wriggly ones, they are already dead and come in a sealed packet. (As i cant get them in my area alive) I noticed my daughter was in the shed, tidying all the chicken food bags up etc. About 10 mins later she comes walking upto me holding an OPEN bag of mealworms, while also MUNCHING.... Im like, "What you doing princess" she is like "Dad are these the worms they eat on that "Im A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here"?????? Im like yes i think so lol, only to find she is eating them, saying "MMMMmmm there actually really nice, do they come in any other flavour" I paused, laughed, and swiftly took them off her. Luckily they are full of protein lol, but my word, having to hide a bag of mealworms from your child rather than a pack of Doritio's is scary. One for her wedding day i think!!!!!!

Chucky Mama Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 My DD once bit into a tick thinking it was raisin It was like one of those slow motion moments ....nooooooo!

Lavenders_Blue Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I'm sure someone posted on here once about some cranberry mealworms they had bought..... I used to eat Go-Cat when I was little. Never done me any harm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Eeewww . (You'd better keep an eye on the mealworm levels, if they're that tasty she might sneak out and pinch some more . I know what I'm like with an open bag of crisps .) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jellykelly Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Ok I can't say that I'm partial to pet food - the fish flakes put me off (ate the whole tub though) - but I used to share smarties with my dog as a child. Not like one for you, one for me, oh no........... the dog licked the colour off until the crispy shell was white, then I ate it. It could be why I was wormed a lot as a child Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coco Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 My son used to eat Go cat, he'd sit on the back doorstep with a bowl of it. It was always doggie chocolate for me, early signs of a chocoholic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have to start buying mealworms in bulk if they have to feed 3 chickens and a daughter!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadietoo Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 My DD is still upset by the fact that I had scooped a bit of dried cat food into an empty chocolate muffin cardboard outer packet, and she came along and ate it mistaking it for a chocolate chip...easy mistake but how was that my fault????

Space Chick Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I used to love chocolate bone biscuits My Grandad once ate a whole packet not realising they were for the dog, and commented "I did wonder why they were bone shaped and why Benji wouldn't move from my feet" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
