I am completely and utterly terrified of earth worms. Yes, it's true. And yes, I know it's ridiculous. It rained the other night and it probably took me about half an hour to walk my normal five minute route home. Why, you ask? Because there were MILLIONS of earth worms on the ground and I can't stand stepping on them. Instead, I opt to carefully place each foot between them so as to avoid getting worm guts stuck in my shoes (I'm sure I'm a sight to be seen). It grosses me out to the nth degree. literally. If you don't believe me, ask my older brother about our early morning newspaper route fiasco when I was fourteen and refused to get off my bike because there were worms on the ground.
But really, EVERYONE has an irrational fear, right? I'm convinced it's not just me.

ReplyDeleteNothing like hearing a worm pop like a gusher. I totally agree, though. I hate creeping things and slimy things like spiders and maggots. I get the willies just thinking about it. Remind me sometime and I'll tell you all of my spider stories. And the story about when my roommate woke up with half of a cockroach on his lips.
