As I pulled back a shuck to expose the ear, a HUGE worm was inside. Now, finding a worm was no big deal but this one was fat and yucky! Before I knew what I was doing I hollered “OH GOD!” except I stretched out the syllables a bit. As soon as I said it I knew I was in big trouble. “What did you say?!” my mom barked out. “I…I…I didn’t mean to” I stuttered. “You know better than that! Go get the paddle right now!” she ordered. My eyes began to water as I headed for the house. I went into the kitchen and retrieved the hard, wood paddle. I hoped that my aunt would leave before I returned outside but as I went out the door I saw through my tears that they were both still there.
