I Didn't Have the Heart to Correct Him (with bonus haiku)

Look Daddy!
There are TWO baby worms
In this deep, deep hole
That you dug
With your sharp, sharp shovel!

BONUS HAIKU VERSION

Daddy!  There are two
Baby worms in this hole you
Dug with your shovel!

The Incident

Mom I need to tell you something

The hazel eyes shift far to the left and up

Like the prime suspect on a bad TV cop show

It may not be a lie that comes out next

But if it is the truth it has been carefully

Massaged

I had to tell my sister a secret
It wasn't really a secret
It was like a joke
Not really a joke just something
I wanted to tell her
You know
Quietly

Umm Hmm

And

Well you see

I was chewing 

This

Gum.

A deep breath in.

An inside count to three

Mom steels herself 

And prepares for the extraction
