This is a tomato worm. In real life, it is about as wide as an adult finger and about 4 inches long. And just look at the pointy thing on its tail! Thank goodness for boys on the farm. Here was the conversation tonight:
Boys: "You want to see a tomato worm?"
Girls: "Eeewww! Gross! Wait, let me look closer. No, wait, take it away!"
Boys: "OK, when you're done looking, we better squish it for you."
Girls: "Why?"
Boys: "You don't want to get your shirt dirty."
Girls: "Our shirts? Wait, how do you squash it?"
Boys: "With your foot, but oh man, that's a thick worm."
Girls: "Eeewww!"
Goodnight, and pleasant dreams.
