Yeah, those were the good old days. A favorite past-time of mine was digging in the dirt. I used to get a spoon from my mother's kitchen drawer and use it to dig in the dirt in the 'alley way' between my house and my next door neighbor's house (I grew up in an 'Archie Bunker' type of house in Queens hence the alley ways between them). Whenever I came across a worm, I'd use the spoon to cut it in half and then watch it slither away in two different directions. Gross I know but it amused me as a little girl! Can you tell I wasn't a 'girly' girl?!!!
