All This Talk About Worms Got me Thinking...

I had a worm.  Once.  In Scotland.  Actually the worm came out in Ireland, but I'm pretty sure I got it in Scotland.  I ordered the smoked salmon salad and didn't realize that smoked salmon was raw and only smoked, not cooked.  I was only like 21 at the time, jeez.  They don't teach that stuff in school in International Falls MN.  Anyway, what I did learn in I. Falls was that you always eat your food.  All of it.  And so a few days later in Ireland I went to the bathroom and found what looked like the inside of an onion ring on the toilet paper.  Like a cooked, invisible (see-through) onion.  I freaked out!  And then I remembered the raw salmon.  For YEARS this was my story and I told it a thousand times. 

Last summer I had a similar inside-of-an-onion ring on my toilet paper, and thought, "O.M.G. I still have that worm from 12 years ago in my body?"  And then I realized I had been eating a TON of grapefruit lately.  And, come to think of it, I had been eating a TON of grapefruit on that trip to Scotland/Ireland.  In other words, I never had a worm, just an undigested piece of citrus fruit posing as a worm.

GROSS!!

  1. I had a hard piece of candy stuck in the back of my teeth behind my top molar. I worked on that piece of candy for weeks, months maybe. Til I found out what a wisdom tooth is. Similar story?

  3. I wonder if having a worm would somewhat be like having a baby? You are somewhat nurturing and caring for it until you have to force it out.

  4. Hilarious Kelly. Was that recently?

    And yes, Davin. I think having worms is exactly like having a baby. Don't they also take a poop test to find out if you're pregnant?

  6. Kady you don't get worms from eating smoked salmon.

    Kelly and Kady, did either of you think to just ask someone about it?
