The Bag

Walking home from the school playground this evening, Birdie and LaLa have ridden their two-wheelers on ahead and are waiting for us on the front lawn. I am pushing Henry and Pearl in the double stroller as Pearl and I chat companionably about the things we see. Pearl does a sharp intake of breath and turns around in the stroller to look me in the eye and says, "Mama! Today is the day that the earth worms DIE!"

"They die?"
"Yes, they die and then they go up to worm heaven!"
"Worm heaven, huh? Is that a beautiful place for worms to go?"
"Yes. But the bad-guy worms... they go in the bag."


Seriously though, check this out




and then look over here.

Hee. I am officially amused by Pearl's cosmology.
And your wee man is the spitting image of his sis, isn't he?

Dadguys and the girls eyes are brown and mine are green... Henry is the only blue eye of the lot of us!
