As part of my summer internship I spend 20 hours each week travelling to various communities to lead fishing and aquatic ecology classes for kids. One of the dirtier parts of this job is putting worms on the kids' hooks. I always give a demonstration on how to do it and encourage kids to do it themselves. However, I do not want to turn kids away from fishing because they're forced to touch worms, so I'll do it for them if they want me to. Today there was a line of girls waiting to get their hooks baited, and one of the girls informed me that she kissed a worm once. "Really?!" I said, "Then you should be able to bait your own hook without a problem."
To that she responded, "No, I don't hurt things; I just kiss them. That doesn't hurt them." Then she paused for a moment, thinking, and asked, "Or does it?"
Just a little something to chuckle about and ponder for a while.
