AN ODE TO A WORM

Jaida brought home
"Princess Lea"
from Preschool today.

Poor little fella.
She played with it, pulled it, twisted it, rolled it, stretched it...
till it was black, blue and swollen!
I couldn't convince her that her "precious" was dead and gone.
For the next few hours, Jaida carried around her limp worm in the palm of her hand.
Finally, when she wasn't looking... I buried the worm and the cup
in the bottom of the garbage can.

Oh I still laugh at Riley and Jaida playing catch and spinning with the poor little worm!

That is so Jaida! She just loved it to death, that's all! Too cute!
