I was mowing the yard this morning and had a baby inch worm on me. Since he was a baby and not an inch long, would he still be called an inch worm? Or would he be called a 1/2 inch worm or even a 1/4 inch worm? Wouldn't his name change as he grew towards adulthood and became a full inch worm? The questions that plague me!
Now that we've moved from Imperial measurements even an adult can't really be called an inch worm now can it? Somehow a 2.54 centimeter worm just doesn't do it for me though.
whatever those little things are called , I hate it when they land on you. I will be sitting under our maple tree and down they drop on the web...I am glad they don't last all summer...
My mother always told me a story about if an inch worm started climbing upon you and climbed up to your head, well, I don't know what happened after that. Must have not been paying attention to her. Barb in Pa.
Good question. There are so many puzzling question in this vast universe. Like why do they call a bunch of cows a herd and not a flock. They do seem to flock together to me. Plus why do they call a group of geese, a gaggle. Why not call them a flock? Or here is an interesting question--When you where your socks and shoes all day. How does the dirt get inbetween your toe? With so many questions, one could go threw the day quite puzzled.
