The Difference Between My Boys

The boys helped me as I planted my flowerbeds this morning. Spencer 'helped' the first hour while Josh was asleep, and Josh 'helped' the second hour while Spencer watched Transformers. The following conversations took place.

Spencer
Me: Look, Spencer, a worm!

Spencer: A woooorrrm?

Me (picking it up and holding it out for him): Yeah. Do you want to hold it?

Spencer: NO.

Me (holding it closer to him): Why not? It can't hurt you.

Spencer (shying away as if I were holding a scorpion): Ewww! NO! Throw it away!

Me (putting it back in the dirt): No! Worms are good, they make the dirt good for our flowers. Just pet it. It's nice!

Spencer (running away, arms flailing): AAAAIIIIIIEEEEEE!

Josh
Me: Look, Josh, a worm!

Josh (coming closer for a look): Woym?

Me (holding it in my hand): Yep, worm. Do you want to pet it?

Josh (petting the worm): Woym. Nice woym.

Me: Yep, he's nice. Do you want to hold him?

Josh (holding his chubby little hand out): Yes. Nice woym.

Me (handing him the worm): Yep, nice worm. He makes the dirt nice for our flowers. They live in the dirt. Worms - HEY! DO NOT EAT THE WORM, JOSH!
