Pet Worm

I just had to share with you my funny story about our pet worm. My oldest son (almost 5 years old), decided the other day that he REALLY wanted to have a pet worm. So, he went in the backyard and dug and dug looking for a big worm. When he finally found the perfect one he brought it inside and we put it in a little plastic container with some dirt. You see, my son is known for jumping from one thing to the next. So, by the next day he had totally forgotten about his pet worm, but his faithful Mother HAD NOT! For the next week I would check on the little guy several times a day. I just had to make sure he was okay and still wiggling. I guess you could say I was growing quite attached to this little worm. Finally, tonight I couldn't take it anymore and I had to let him go. Free at last! He is now somewhere digging in our yard. I just hope I don't get attached to all the things Luke brings home! What will be next?!
