Looking a Gift Worm in the Mouth


Today we celebrated Samuel's high school graduation. He, like all other graduates, rode through town on the back of the pickup truck decorated with birch branches, balloons, and banners. My brother's wife Sofia asked me if I had seen any of the trucks drive by, and I said yes, yes, I had.

Sanna: I saw them over by the Minerva school. But not up close. I was only there because I went to the Fishing Center to buy worms for my bird.
Sofia (after a pause): Well, some people celebrate and look at decorated trucks. Other people buy worms.
