Gross!!!!
You know how little boys are. They carry things around in their pockets, like frogs and leaves. They are constantly bringing things in the house to show me, and I always say the same thing “TAKE IT OUTSIDE!!”
Well, one thing must have gotten by me.
My boys have a couple of ‘bug catcher’ type things. A little carry around cage, screened so you can see the critters, and they can breathe. About two weeks ago, my 8 year old had it, and said “Mom, look what I got!”
I looked, and it was full of worms. YUCK!!!
I told him the usual, to take it outside.
Now, I am not a spoil sport, I just don’t want worms in my house.
Well, over the weekend, my 11 year old son came downstairs and said, “You are never going to guess what I found crawling under my bed- A WORM!”
I told him to throw it away.
Then he came back and said he had found two little worms under there too.
Now I was feeling sick.
Worms had reproduced in my house.
I kind of panicked, and told the boys that they had to throw away all the books, and stuffed animals that were stored in boxes under their bed.
Now, the eight year old says it couldn’t have been his worms. After all, they were in the bug catcher. Well, the bug catcher has a gapp between the door and the wall…..so……
Anyhow, the worms are gone (At least they had better be!!), the room is cleaner than ever, and I am paranoid now, about worms.
Kind of reminds me of when my little brothers used to chase me with them. I felt like there was no getting away from them, so I just ran around and screamed.
SO, off I go to inspect their room again, running around in circles…but this time I am only screaming on the inside.
