Worms? Really?????

Mallory came rushing inside yesterday afternoon. She and Mason had been playing golf in the front yard, but their attention had been diverted by another activity. She needed two plastic bags and some plastic gloves. When I asked why, she replied, "Because we found worms and they need a safe place to live." When I asked where the worms were, she said "In the ground but they aren't happy. Mason dug them up with his golf club, so they need a new place to live."

I obliged with the two plastic bags but I didn't have gloves. She would hold the bag while Mason used the other bag to cover his hand so it didn't touch the worms. They spent 30 mins. digging up the yard looking for worms to give them a new home.

Mallory shows Castor her new pets. She wanted to bring them in the house last night so they wouldn't get cold. Then she wanted to offer them water so they wouldn't be thirsty.

Mason wanted to dig but he didn't want to touch the worms.

How many are there??????
