Natural is good, yeah?

MAMA MONKEY

Hey, so I wanted to ask you, is it ok if I take this supplement before surgery?

EVIL MONKEY

What supplement?

MAMA MONKEY

It's made with earthworms

*eyes pop out*

What?! NO! Worms?(ew) what else is in it? What is it for?

MAMA MONKEY

Your aunt said it was ok to take it before surgery.

EVIL MONKEY
Who does she think she is?! Just because you had cancer doesn't make you an expert...#$&@^

No it's not ok.

MAMA MONKEY

It's protein or something. It was recommended to me by people. I wouldn't just take anything random...

EVIL MONKEY
Who are these people? Show me some proof it works for... whatever it's claiming it'll do. Wait? what does it do?

No matter, don't take it. You can get protein from lots of other sources. Worms, ew ew ew ew...

I knew this was gonna happen. My aunt is and always has been into all kinds of nutritional supplements. Just because something is 'natural' doesn't mean it's good for you... *rips hair out, bangs head on wall* I have no doubt my aunt will tell my mom to take it, that I don't know what I'm talking about. Lets ignore the fact that she has zero formal training in science or medicine or know the exact name of her cancer (that, btw is so baffling that I can't even grap the concept). I think my brother made her call... Good thing he's there.
