An ode to (some) pets

I found myself talking to the worms:

"Hey guys. Hope you like apple cores and strawberry stems, and whatever this splattery stuff is."

You've got to hand it to them: they're the perfect, low-maintenance pet. Unlike some, they don't wake you up, shed, whine, poop on your carpet, or run up the vet bill; they eat whatever you feed them; you don't have to worry about leaving them for weeks at a time; and they give you rich organic matter in return for your food scraps.


Good thing you're cute, Gracie.
