Have you ever tried Metamucil? Each day my mom gets herself out a glass of water, she then gets a heaping spoonful of this Metamucil powder and stirs it into the glass. She then proceeds to drink the large glass of chalky, fiber water down. I can’t think of doing anything more repulsive! It grosses me out every time I see her do this routine. It must be doing something that she likes though, because for as long as I can remember, she has been drinking the stuff. I wonder if it tastes good. I think the texture alone would make me heave.

Isn’t there a better way? I do think they offer the same thing in a pill form. I wonder why she doesn’t do it that way. Maybe it’s just because as people age, they are so accustomed to doing things a certain way, that to do anything different would throw their whole day out of whack. Very interesting I must say. I think I am going to ask her next time I see her doing this, why it is that she feels so strongly about this Metamucil drink she drinks. Hopefully I don’t make her have a sad day because of it. It really doesn’t affect me, it’s just more of a curiosity issue than anything. If I remember, I will share the results.
