Ok my confession - my girlfriend and I loved to tease/scare her big sister when we were about 8 and knowing she had an absolute dread of snakes the two of us caught one and chased her with it. Poor Vicky - she didn't talk to us for days afterwards but never told on us! The weird thing is now I absolute hate snakes and wouldn't even think of touching one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-78767044880393495412014-06-04T02:27:57.876+01:002014-06-04T02:27:57.876+01:00OH my goodness!

I should think the worm was able to un-knot himself - they're pretty flexible and covered in that lovely slippy stuff. <br />The page is great though and the story made me laugh aloud! <br />I like the red background and the blue ribbon. Oh, and that photo is a classic - you were very cute! <br /><br />My mother was found, at the age of two, sitting in the garden holding Half a Hairy Caterpillar (!). When they asked what had happened to the other half, she said "Yum, yum"!!! <br />And you thought Worm-Knotting was bad... <br /><br />XX Lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918211625453430621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-34784511808866267742014-05-29T16:31:11.672+01:002014-05-29T16:31:11.672+01:00My young brother was afraid of worms, I used to ha...My young brother was afraid of worms, I used to hang them on the toggles of his duffle coat...

I am giggling about your worm story and all the others shared in these comments. We fished for crawdads as kids and sold the tails to the bait store, then used the money to buy candy. Problem was that the bait store wouldn't take the tails still attached to the crawdad, and since I was the oldest I was the one to snap them in half. Ewwww - gives me the creeps to even think of it now! Haha.
