Worms: Great for the garden. Bad for lunch.

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.”
