 Some grandparents were babysitting their four-year-old grandson for the weekend. The kid was making the old man crazy, draining his energy. “I have to think of something to keep this boy occupied with a project for a little while!”
A light rain fell and some worms were out. “Say, I bet you can’t get a worm back into a hole. Five dollars if you can do it!”
The boy tried and tried, but nothing worked. He picked up a worm and went inside. He covered the worm with several coats of hairspray. Back outside, the boy was able to push the worm into the ground like it was a nail.
“You did it! Here’s your five dollars.”
In the morning Grandma presented the boy with a scrumptious spread of breakfast and there was a five-dollar bill on the tray. “Grammy, what’s this?” “For the worm trick.” “Grampy already paid me for that.” “I know he did. This is from me.”
