Worms I did my good deed for the day: I rescued two earthworms from a parking lot. I have an inordinate fondness for earthworms; whenever I see them stranded in puddles or on pavement, I'll rescue them; I'll even go considerably out of my way to do so. I suppose it's odd that I'm afraid of and/or loathe most insects, but like earthworms. It's probably because my parents and grandparents all had gardens, and taught me how beneficial earthworms are, and sometimes set me to gathering earthworms to put in the gardens. I even kind of like the way they feel in my hand; for some reason I don't mind the sliminess and squirminess. They feel very alive, the way mice do when you hold them. They're probably one of the few completely beneficial and harmless creatures on the planet, and that's something to feel good about. [ at 11:49 AM • by Abby • permalink • ] |
