Uni Posted December 1, 2015 Share Is it the kids that gross you out, or the silkworms, or the memory that your mother made you go fetch the leaves yourself? Is that like a therapy session or a grammar session? Too early either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids haven't done the silkworm thing in a few year's, thank goodness. My youngest would buy them at school in the morning and sell them during 2e break for a huge profit.[emoji23] [emoji23] Edited December 1, 2015 by Gen Lexx and Tumbleweed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As kids we seemed to do it every year...my old man even crafted a little wooden silk wheel for extracting the silk from the cocoon!
