I cut and pasted this because I was laughing while reading it......it just cracked me up! I can totally related to all the questions!
This is a group for people who know what it means to be a waldorfian.

1. you know pencil shavings make everything prettier
2. you rip your pants and instead of throwing them away, you whip out
thread
and a needle and fix them
3. faries and gnomes were your childhood friends
4. there's no need to research the dating history of your boyfriend/
girlfriend, you know everyone they've dated
5. knitting is not just a new trend- you've done it since first grade
6. you've made socks, hats, potholders, flutecases, stuffed animals,
and
sewn your own clothes
7. as you kiss your boyfriend/ girlfriend, you realize it is like
kissing a
sibling... you break up
8. it doen't seem weird to have the same teacher for eight years
9. you can never escape your ex... they'll probably date your best
friend
10. tie dye was part of your dress code as a child

of you to go on the school brochure
24. you didn't have barbies or GI joe, you had silks and wooden trucks
25. you know all the bible stories even though you've never set foot
inside

26. you wonder if Waldorf has an agreement with Volvo to only drive
their

28. you've been asked "isn't that a cult" when you say you go to
Waldorf
29. the thought of main lesson book nights haunt you years after you
graduate
30. you've been in at least one Shakepeare play
31. you've used the words "Waldork" and "Waldorfian"

Happy May day
I feel comfortable showing these videos ONE because it is helpful to teach other teachers and TWO because the video is so far away you can't tell faces....so no need for permission. Or at least I am trying to justify that reasoning.
