A boy and his worm

The other morning we found a nightcrawler when I was pulling some weeds in the yard. Ben was absolutely smitten, named him 'Mater' (of course), and played with him all morning. I reminded him to be gentle with his new friend because I had no desire to clean mashed worm off my child. Yuck. And fortunately ben was nice to his little pal.



When it came time to go in I told Ben to send his friend home (back to the dirt). Ben decided that 'Mater' needed to drive himself home in a car. He even had 'Mater' stop at store, get out, and get back into his car before reaching his destination. Ha-ha! What a funny kid.
