So…pickin the boy up from school today…he always asks how MY day was…”fine”, I said, “and yours”? “Oh, well, I forgot my lunch card today so I just had milk….but that’s alright…I wasn’t hungry….we had to dissect a worm today”.
EEWE. Did you know they give extra credit if they can keep it alive for a certain time period DURING dissection? Um…can you say Jeffrey Dahmer? Now that’s a little creepy.
They got to find the ‘heart like things…there’s like 10 of them’, the major nerve chord, the ‘brain like thing which is like a mess of nerves’, the intestines. Um EEWE. And of course other gross stuff (to me anyhow).
So I said…”It was so gross you couldn’t eat?” ((boy chuckles)) “Oh, no…my HANDS smelled like worm. No matter how much I washed them I couldn’t get rid of the stink. Someone offered me half of their turkey wrap and as soon as I brought it up to my mouth I could smell the worm on my hands. It was naaasty.”

Yuck – i remember dissecting worms and they’re not the garden variety. They were mutant alien like worms. Gag!

Ugh, I remember that smell also. Thanks for the reminder, lol!!
We did a fetal pig lab when I was in high school. That smell stayed in my nose for weeks. Hmmm, sounds like an excellent weight loss tool.

LOL… poor kid! I’m one of the sick kids that loved dissecting the animals. I don’t remember the smell, though. I think I’m glad I don’t remember it!

That does sound nasty. I don’t think I could eat after dissecting a worm.
