Worm Day

There are companies whose entire existence is built around toys. Their primary work is to dream up and manufacture toys that will captivate children.
Toys that will stimulate intellectual growth and developmental. Toys that are age appropriate.
I am sure these companies hire people with advanced degrees who understand the minds of preschoolers so that they can invent new toys that parents will be scrambling to buy.
So far none of them have come up with what Ada loves the most.
Fake fishing worms and a plastic container.

On one of their "dates", Cambel and Kevin purchased some brightly colored fishing worms and a Spiderman fishing pole. Ada happened to be along on this one and came home with a small plastic container and a few worms of her own.
And that is how we discovered what appears to be the greatest toy of all time:
Worm Day

Ada spends a good chunk of her time playing with what she calls Worm Day.
The worms are a family with a daddy worm, a mommy worm (who unfortunately had an accident in which she lost her head, which oddly enough did not preclude her from continuing her duties as a mommy worm), girl worms, boy worms, and lots of baby worms. The plastic container functions as their home/bed where most of their living takes place (which consists of sleeping, vomiting, and disciplining the younger worms).
Due to the mommy worm's unfortunate accident, Kevin and Ada went to the store yesterday to look for a replacement.
And they came home with not one worm, not 2, not even 10.
They arrived with a 305 piece set of worms.
I think we just jumped from Worm Day to something out of a horror film.
Worm World--over 300 slimy multicolored worms all over my house.
Good thing mommy worm has her head back because she is going to be pretty busy.
