have you guys heard of this?
Are They Here To Save the World?

one of my coworkers is convinced that the Indigo Girls are somehow behind it. snicker.

anyway, there is a great mock-essay in the New Yorker this week on the Dandelion Child, by Paul Rudnick.

Shortly after Billy was born, I noticed that he possessed an unusual affinity for organic

I *love* the mock essay. WTF is wrong with people? Indigo auras? Wowza. And I thought I was a hippie!

So I'm guessing you watched CSI last night? Craig immediately googled "indigo child" after they mentioned it. Great episode but dang that child was freaky!

[nektarine]

no, i didn't! we don't watch CSI! did they mention this?

You can read about the episode here - http://www.cbs.com/primetime/csi/episodes/618/ It was bizarre! Don't know if we DVR'd it but if we did, I could make you a tape.

I sent Craig your links for the articles. He wrote back, "Somebody needs to take a baseball bat to people who think they can see auras. And the parents who call their offspring Indigo and Dandelion children.

And Ted Kennedy."

He's such a dork. ;)

I watched CSI last night too. That was the first I heard of these Indigo Children.

Hi! I came over from Lauren's journal. I think we have mutual professional interests (psychologist) and I'd love to add you as a friend. :)

hi. i'd be happy to read along - but i really don't post that much on LJ these days to provide "active participation" in your journal. i'm more of a private-LJ poster and i'm just not comfortable adding someone on to my FL. i hope you'd understand!

i'd also be more than happy to answer any of your clinical psych questions in the grad psych community or lauren's journal! :)
