I happened to capture this on film…
While the boys were outside playing in the rain this afternoon, Owen found a worm in the driveway. He was holding it. He was showing it to me. He was fascinated by it…
As I was standing there taking pictures of him, and talking with him about the worm, I literally watched his mind kind of think, “hmmm… this worm thing is so interesting! what could I do with it? could I eat it? I wonder what it tastes like?!” And then, suddenly, in a split second, I watched him as he put the worm into his mouth!!!!!!!!!!! Before I could even put the camera down and say anything to him he pulled it out — apparently it tasted yucky!…
A split second later he said, “Mommy, we can’t eat it!” He carried it over to the grass and left it there.
