Have you kissed your worms today?

16 years ago

This story about gardening in a pre-school has the following 'vignette' about children's reactions. I have not been tempted to kiss my worms, but do feel affection for them, so maybe different only in a degree from the 5 year old.

...snip...Vignette 2: A handful of students are peering into a large Styrofoam container filled with dirt, decomposing food and more than 2,000 worms. This eventually will become compost for the garden. Tyler Spears, also 5, grabs a handful and, before anyone can notice, puts it toward his mouth. "I just kissed a worm!" he exclaims.

Here is a link that might be useful: Child kisses compost worm.
