the highlight of Samantha's week

The principal at Samantha's school, Mr. Bakle, announced that he would eat one worm for each grade level that had every student complete a young author's book...four grade levels, four worms... Well, guess what? Every child in the entire school did a book and so yes, Mr. Bakle ate four worms! The first was a gummi worm but the other three were real alive earthworms! Samantha telling me about it: "Well, first of all, he had a puke bucket beside him in case he threw up and also some pink medicine [pepto]. After he ate the gummi worm, he fried the worm in some fish stuff [batter?]and ate it, then did the other two. It was so gross, Mom, I threw up a little in my mouth and then had to swallow it because I didn't have a puke bucket!" I think the highlight of MY week was her telling me about it!
