Jamison The Worm Boy

21 Sep 2000 - Jamison, The Worm Boy

My children have been watching the "Survivor" reruns this week. (Don't ask me why,,,I didn't think it was that interesting the first time around.) Anyway a topic of conversation here at our house has been what a worm might taste like, or feel like. Anyway, Jamison, full of bravado, said he would eat a worm. Hannah and Jordy said he wouldn't do it. Well apparently you don't tell Jamison he won't do something. He went right out and started looking for a worm.

After about 30 minutes of looking Calvin went out and helped him. Soon they came in with a worm. My guess would be it was 2 inches long. Hannah screamed at him, "If you are going to eat that thing wash it first!" He looked at Hannah with the most condescending face and said, "Duh,,,,I know to wash it first."

I was just watching. I honestly didn't think he'd do it. I figured it would be some big production where we all had to watch and he would have a few false starts then give up. We were all sitting in the kitchen. Jamison stood where we all could see. With only a few seconds hesitation he popped it in his mouth and ate it. LOL. He chewed and swallowed. Then drank some Coke. Then he raised his fist in victory and yelled "I am the worm man!!!"

Hannah with the disdain and irritation that only an older sister can muster told him, "You're only 7 you can only be a worm boy."

Well the excitement is past now. But I can hear Calvin telling Jamison now that he could make money with that trick,,,,,,,,,,
