Conversation with Lucian – Worms

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my Disclosure and Privacy Policy.

Sesame Street Slimey

Lucian: Mommy, do worms have tongues?

Me: No, worms don’t have tongues.

Lucian: But Slimey does and he is a worm.

Me: Honey, Slimey is just a character on Sesame Street. So while he has a tongue, real worms do not. Slimey is just special that way.

Lucian: Slimey is an inchworm.

Me: Is he?

Lucian (matter of factly): Of course he is.

Pause…

Lucian: We have inchworms all around our house! All around, mommy.

Me (smiling): Wow, that is a lot of worms!

Lucian (nodding his head): Yeah, mom.

  1. LOL Kids are so strange but entertaining. Was the “inchworms are all around the house” a scare tactic? My son tries to do that to me about spiders. {shiver}
