09/30/2002: "Squishy Earthy Things"

Squishy Earthy Things by Judith Dinowitz The dirt in the garden fills with squishy earthy things rolling around after a rainstorm. In the bright sun, my children point at the little "snakes," Squishy Earthy Things. Squishy earthy things belong in the dirt, Not in a little boy's stomach. Squishy earthy things are much less attractive when you're taking them out of a moaning, hurting, scared little boy in the dark of the night. (September 29, 2002)
