WE HAVE AN ANOUNCEMENT!!!

We dont know if this is the best way to tell you, but one of us has been eating for two!!!! We have only known for a couple of weeks!


NO Ashli is not pregnant, last week I (todd) found a strange little sore on my inner thigh, and early sunday morning I birthed a beautiful, not so healthy 1/2 inch baby worm, it was dead. yeah freaking nasty, i had been itching it for about a week and i had a thought that it might be the botfly, that puts an egg in you, but i thought thats only something you hear about on the internet, but it wouldn't go away, so i tried the local rememdy of suffocating the worm, everyone says that you need to cover the hole, and that is how they breath, So i still didn't think i had the botfly, but i put lotion on it to cover the hole anyway, and nothing happend, so i put some more on, put a strip of duct tape over the wound and went to bed. the next morning a woke up, stripped the tape off and nothing, so i tried to pop it again, annnd wallllah, the worm, sorry no pictures, true story

That is the most disgusting and coolest story i have heard...at least for today. I kind of wish Ashli was pregnant. That would be cool. Then you could come home and I would babysit your child. We miss you guys!

gyuuh! Put on some long pants next time you hike. In fact, let me send you guys a huge plastic bubble you both can walk around in.

River, the future entomologyst, would have died for a picture. I'll have him read the story and comment.

Jen Bird said...

Oh my oh my!! At first I thought, oh my gosh she's pregnant!! Yeah!!Then I about died when I read about the worm!! I seriously didn't know that stuff was for real. :) I hope you're okay!!

Craig said...

Was it the worm that was making you dance like that?

wild murdocks said...

River wondered why you killed it if it doesn't really hurt you? I'm sure he would love it if a worm was growing in him!

quite disturbing.

mare said...

nucky! I do want pictures-- you guys freaked me out-- I was so excited you would be coming home if ash was pregnant! Poor todd, good luck with that ickiness.

Chelli said...

Too bad Ashli isn't prego! She will be even more adorable prego! Glad you didn't post pictures of the worm! Hope you get better!

McKell said...

PSYCH!! I totally believe the prego Ashli. You guys always get my hopes up. "Guess what?" "Ashli's pregnant?..." "Even better, Todd just beat Mario on Nintendo!!!"

Timothy & Kimberly Pettitt said...

That is the nastiest thing I have ever heard...I am so sorry you had to go through that Todd!

miranda said...

That's just GROSS!! I guess you better come home! :)

Amber said...

Wow, that is absolutely disgusting. I'm okay without pictures, thanks though!

Brandon Bales said...

How 'bout post a picture of the worm eating Prego spaghetti sauce--AND doing Ashly's "happy fingers" dance. eh? yeah, that'd be good. BTW Me and Sam united our powers and got passes to Syyuuundance. Pretty funny huh. Craig said he will come 3 times with us.

Nice, you haven't really experienced the 3rd world until some sort of bug/animal invades your body and wreaks havoc. You've passed the test.

renostar said...

I hope that you treat your future child better than your worm-baby and that you take more photos of both in the future (maybe together). Todd is popping worms out of his body and Ashli has started filming one-woman dance recitals; you guys have changed. Belize and Love.

It's the verb "birthed" that disturbed me most about your story. The imagery is just too much. Didn't Brian "birth" a worm out of his foot in Brazil? It could be genetic.

tiffy girl said...

Jen hit it on the head, it's a genetic thing. Now I wonder what kind of worm is living in those 3rd nipples?

That was a really mean trick!!! I didn't finish reading the blog before I ran and got Adam and he is the one that had to break the news that Jack was not going to have a new best friend! I love you anyways!!

Grandma Nancy said...

Toad, That is just sick and wrong. No one should birth a worm out of their body.
