You like? And is not Judy Garland singing the purple people eater song unexpected and somewhat hilarious?
YAY SEPTEMBER IS OVER! Halloween decorations and music, WOO!
So this morning (and I mean morning) at about 2:45 a.m. I woke up and could not get back to sleep. When the clock was near 4 and I started to get hungry, I decided to get up, eat something, read a little, and try for more sleep later. I went downstairs, and what did I discover but an EARTHWORM, in disgusting pieces, sitting on the carpet by our completely closed back door! (It's been raining here.)
How it got into pieces was no mystery. Both kitties were sitting by, gawking at the remains with their tails twitching. I picked it up with a paper towel and threw it away, had my snack, read some, and went back to bed, wondering how the darn thing got in in the first place. Before I went back upstairs, I noticed Sammy camped out right in front of the door, with his nose practically in the crack. Hmm.
Got up a few hours later and went down again, and it looked the beaches of earthworm Normandy.
Actually, there were probably only two or three, but for how many pieces they were in...
And did you know earthworms aren't like other insects who just seem to have beige-colored guts? They bleed, bright red, and it will get on your carpet. Very inconvenient of them.
So Jason helped me clean it up, and I got to thinking that I felt kind of bad for them. They thought they were getting refuge from the storm, and they come in to face to giant, uncaring, mischievous beasts! I mean, I don't want them in my house, but they're drowning, they escape that, and can't you just see Father Earthworm leading the kids through that crack?
"This way, children. Everything will be all right. We'll be safe in he--[looks up, horror]--go back!!"
"I can't, Daddy, half of me is still outside!"
"GO BACK!! GO BA--AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUGGGHHHH!!!!!"
Yeah, I know I'm weird, but just be glad I didn't take pictures! :)
