In absolute panic and desperation, I race outside with the 2 kids following me like ducklings, a spade in my hand desperately digging in the flower beds for an earthworm. I had planned to do this on Sunday night but obviously forgot. The good news is that my neighbors got a glimpse of crazy as I jumped from one spot in the flower beds to another in an attempt to find a worm that was bigger in radius than a toothpick. I was sweating, it was 8:55 AM (school starts at 9), we finally decided on a little guy. I frantically punched holes in the top of the tupperware that was to be his temporary home and we were off. (I don't even know if earthworms need that much air but I didn't want to risk a tragedy)
We named him "Banjo" after John's current fave tune: "Oh, Susannah"
John was very proud of Banjo and a little concerned when we first "bottled him up" that he might miss his family. I assured him we would bring him back to his rightful home
