I can think of one worm that wears a hat! When I was a kid, I fed nonsense phrases into an English-German translator program for my friends to giggle at, and the only one that sticks in my head today is “Ihr Wurm hat meinem Hut gestohlen” - “Your worm has stolen my hat!”

I know that worm is still out there, looking fashionable at my expense….

Stop flirting with me, Ledasmom!

Man, you earthworm fetishists are all the same.

I don’t quite see how an earthworm could wear a hat. Wouldn’t the hat come off when the earthworm was slithering through the soil eating dirt? Maybe something like a whole-body ski mask would work. If someone could provide me with average worm dimensions and degree of stretch needed I’ll haul out the size 0000s and have a go.
Ethan’s earthworm report caused me to snort loudly, but then my own son’s recipe for french toast included an ejection seat.

Flirting, ew. Lauren is what, 12?

I just like to hassle earthworm-lovin’ hippie welfare moms.

You know what’s the funniest part of this? Not Ethan’s genius (although again I say, it is absolutely the cutest genius I have ever been privileged to see)–but that Robert thinks he is flirting. Successfully. Because women get all kinds of hot when you check-minus-minus the work of their children.

Well, that’s just what they’ve trained you to say at Welfare Queen Scam Camp.

Beg to differ, Robert. His mother is a thankless hippie and thus he knows that earthworms eat dirt, do not wear hats, and are a very important part of our ecosystem. Which is why we try not to step on them after it rains. Plus, ew.

If he thinks earthworms wear hats, it’s because his mother is drunk and bad and wrong and probably on welfare and scams hard-working Americans so she can drive a Cadillac, instead of spending her time on educating her children about the earthworms. The slattern. So check minus minus!

I disagree with Robert’s assesment. If in fact Ethan was under the impression that earthworms wore hats, then it is in fact within the topic of “what I learned” if he learned otherwise.

Check-plus.
