When I was planting last weekend, in an attempt to divert my children’s attention, I gave them a couple of earthworms. It is very, very wet where I was planting so there were plenty to choose from. I’m all for torturing poor defenseless insects in the spirit of giving me two minutes of working time.
Kai: This is the daddy worm. Anya has the mommy worm.
Anya: Mommy worm?
Kai: Yeah, I have the daddy worm and you have the mommy worm.
Anya: Okay.
Kai: Hey, where’s my worm?
Anya: I dunno.
Alas, the worms were fraught with distress and tunneled into the nether regions of the earth to escape getting poked. Didn’t they know I had work to do?? Geesh.
Uncooperative little creatures…the worms, I mean. 😉 And I can just picture Anya’s matter-of-fact expression and mannerisms as she replied “I dunno”.
I love the new blog header and layout. Everything looks so pulled-together. I need to go work on an organized look for my blog, and you may be just the inspiration I needed.
Oh yes, it was very matter of fact. 😉
Thanks for the compliments on the new design, Melody! It was time for a change. 😀
ava loves to play with worms. 🙂
