Worm On My Kitchen Worktop

[phleb]

I feel sick. I clean every day. I cannot believe what i saw when i walked near my worktop near to sink and there was a wiggly worm. how did it get there? Kids havent a clue. We have been out most of day. I feel angry at myself,

The one of the most important animal on the planet , is your old earth worm.
They create soil basically. If all the earth worms disappeared over night we would be in big trouble.

When i was little i had a worm farm. I picked em up and put them in a pot...used to have loads by teatime, mother used to go mad and make me scrub my hands and nails with soap and nail brush. then she used to inspect my hands and if signs of soil, i had to go scrub again. She told me i would get worms in my tummy. i feel poorly when i see them now. I was so angry with myself thinking i didnt clean properly.

I know, Quiz. I was just trying to give Phleb a bit of peace of mind as to where it came from.

[phleb]

[Mamyalynne]

Ah, you've been conditioned as a child then - go and bring it back in and make friends.

[phleb]

No i did not give it a biscuit or milk..lol, are you lot pulling my leg ;-)

[Tilly2]

I could just drink a glass of milk with a biscuit on the side.

[phleb]

At least i could talk to the worm, give it my opinions without any backchat unlike the kids :-/ well its gone now.

when I was little my mum said if I swallowed grape pips a tree would grow in my tummy, believed her for years.

If I thought I had things coming up through my plugholes the last thing it would give me is peace of mind! :D
