Worms in the house..... *thud*

OMG OMG OMG I would die.

True worm story:

Spoiler:

My late beagle Suzy, when she was a puppy, once ate every worm she saw on a walk after a rain. There was no stopping her. Believe me, we turned around for home as soon as she started.

We get home. The family is sitting down to dinner. Suzy begins to retch and retch and ... up come a couple of worms, up come some more. And some of them were wriggling.

I pointed to the mess and hissed to my kids, just like the Wicked Queen in "Snow White" did with the hunter. "Get them!" I said. "Clean that up!"

You're welcome.
