Mummy can I have a new pet?
Today little man went on a school excursion to a community farm, (Edendale Farm)  so when I picked him up from school, I could tell that he was tired. Thinking he had a busy day at the farm.
I start with the usual questions to little lady, not bad was all I got out of her, ask her if there was anything special she did no, but my head and tummy hurt, so I went and laid down in sick bay for a bit. It mustn’t have been that bad as no phone call from the school.

Then I get to little man. Conversation went like this
“Tell me about the farm?” Ohhh it was good.
“Did you see some animals?” yes.
“Did you like any of the animals?” Yes some
By now I thought he would have been jumping out of his seat to tell me about all the things he saw but no, he was deep in thought. Then I get the reason why he was leading up to ask me a question.
“Mum can I get a pet?” What would you like little man?
“Well I saw it at the farm and I liked it” “okay what was it
More silence, so by now I am starting to wonder, are we going to be asked for a snake, spider or something less then cute and cuddly. I was pretty much on the mark.
“Worms” he said.
“Did you say worms?”
“Yes, I played with them at the farm and I want some, so can we get some worms and start a farm?”

Oh what could I say but “I’ll think about it”

The joys of rural living and eco friendly schooling.
Let’s hope in the morning we won’t want a worm farm.

KP, there are a few shops which sell a kit to set up a worm farm.
They are not overly expensive, small and hopefully airtight!!
Good luck, it could have been worse though, he may have wanted a cow, sheep, horse, bull, rooster......
In desperation, he could always dig in the back garden, ahhh aren't kids gorgeous!

KP - my dad has a worm compost! My kids think it is great... and Miss 8's school has worms in their garden. She told me proudly how the other day she got the job of transferring the worms and she wasn't grossed out at all by them.... maybe you should invest in a worm farm, hey there's a blog waiting to happen... 101 reasons why a worm farm is better than ... a cat ... a dog ... a bird!!
They eat dirt, no need to clean their litter tray, they won't run away, they won't get hit by a car, they won't fight with your neighbours cat, they won't .....

Oh you get the picture.

Good luck with that one!
