- Your child asks to use the broom to cleanse, I mean clean, their room.
- There is always a steak knife missing.
- Your smallest pan keeps disappearing and reappearing, and always smells like ashes and potpourri.
- All your candle holders are missing.
- They now enjoy going to the fabric store with you and they want thread, ribbon and cloth of every color of the rainbow.
- Their Christmas and Birthday wish lists consist of:
a white or black full length bathrobe
blank journal books
window box herb gardens
and a box of candles in assorted colors.- You just figured out that every full or new moon your child asks to have 3 friends spend the night; and strangely they are very quiet all night.
- Your child now says "Merry Meet Again" every morning to you and whenever they leave they say "Merry Part".
- Your recipe cards are disappearing and when you do find them you can't make sense of the recipe since it doesn't require any actual cooking.
- Your child has a new ID bracelet that reads something like "RavenMoon" "StarWolf" or "SunDragon".
- Your child asks you one day for a compass, four pails of paint; blue, green, red, and yellow, so that they can paint their room correctly.
- They insist that their first car be the color brown and have a license plate that says BROOM.
- Their pillows are now filled with all your potpourri.
- You ask your child to rake up the autumn leaves in the yard, and they come back with a small stick and a large stick; which you later find to have shiny objects on them and unidentifiable etchings.
- Once a jar gets emptied in your house it ends up in your child's room filled with various objects like pins, needles, hair, honey, paper, and soil.
