During Earth day, we had a "bring your kids to work" event. All the kids got little earth worms in plastic cups, but me and jenzee were a little bit jealous. We asked nicely if we could have worms too, and the mad scientist lady gave us each a worm of our very own!
I named my worm "Kai" because I'm convinced dragons fly with gas, and use wings to navigate - think hot air ballon. Laine said the same thing and I agreed.
jenzee named his worm "Dragon" for reasons unknown.
Dragon died in two hours from (possible) heat stroke. Mine was free for a specific time before meeting his demise.
Kai slept overnight at the office but escaped his plastic cup prison (which had a lid on it!?!?!?!?!?! the plastic container was somewhat like a condiment cup you get when you order take out and they give you sauces). We found a dirt trail which clearly shows that Kai exploded from his confines a la The Rock, and explored the many figurines of ramoneguru 's desk before dropping off the side and dying a terrible, dry death. We found him as a shriveled black twig looking thing covered in lint, poor sucker.
We think they were in love.
Sad times . See my profile for details.
Note: I still have the dirt trail it left on my desk as a shrine to the worm's amazing thirst for adventure and freedom.
