The Caterpillars in My Life

This one Addison brought home from school.  It’s especially funny because we’re half-assed vegetarians.

And this one I found eating my tomato plant.


This guy is, of course, now in a container on my counter where for the past five days it has been fed a steady diet of tomato branches mostly because I am fascinated by the question of how much the thing can eat before exploding.  As a result of his steady gorging, Mr. Hookworm is ginormous. I almost fear for my cat.

Shall we name him? Any suggestions? I kind of like Captain Hookworm…

    Hooker….he seems to have a sugar mama in you and that seems a fair exchange. You feed him, he amuses you. Straight-forward transaction.

    Or simply just HookAss seeing as there is a hook coming out of his ass.

    Does his hookass wag when he is happy?

    Bwahaha. So, a hookworm is your “Muse”? Nothing wrong with that because you could be fascinated by rats with really long tails and stuff, like me. I just want to see their raggedy little bird seed stealing asses thrown off my 9v electrified feeder!!

    Hmmm…I think I would change it up a bit and go with Asshook. Seems to roll off the tongue better. “Asshook”. Yeah.

    That’s a tough one, but I think I’d have to go with Fatty Von Hookerstien also acceptable Chunky McHookenstuff

    Jeez Louise! That thing is HUGE. If you’re really only half-assed vegetarians, you could always just fry that mofo up and eat it.

    Wonder if it tastes like tomatoes.
