As a kid I picked an apple from a neighbor’s tree, so to speak, and heard a voice…
Thy betrothed
charms consummation
arms the worm
True: The girl next door had a thing for military uniforms. This teenage army private got caught, mostly out of uniform, on her Beautyrest, by her father. Leaving my cap, with which she covered her modesty with triumph, I wormed my way back into uniform, saluted the man with the shotgun, and reported back to base double-time. They might have been happy together, the girl next door and the private, if only until the worm was back in civvies.

Thank you the great joke for kids that reminded me “what’s worse” than finding a worm in an apple is finding one out of uniform. : )

No, finding half a worm in your apple and not knowing where the other half is is worse!

I thought this would be funny, but instead it ends so, so sad. Don’t try and worm your way out of it, Geo, you’ve betrayed us.
