A story of the glow worm:

Our little glow worm has developed a very sensitive streak. One never quite knows what will set it off. Apparently, back ground music in a movie determines her feelings on every seen, as well as lighting, and yelling.

The youngest child, bless her heartlessness, has tried in vain to make light of tense situations in the movies she watches with glow. She laughs hysterically at the hideous monster on Sleeping Beauty. Chirps out the many attractions of the monster on Enchanted. But when the glow worm bights her lower lip, and her big eyes turn into two beautiful water fountains, she knows the battle is lost.

Recently, after returning home after a long trip, the middle child and the youngest child stopped by the oldest childs house to see the glow worm and the lady bug(who is under going a name change by the newsy news staff). While visiting, the youngest child couldn’t stop herself from asking the glow worm if she liked Madagascar, a movie the little glow had just seen.
“Noooo.” Little glow answered with a very grave look of disappointment on her little face.
“Why not?” The youngest child asked sensitively. “Was it scary?”
“Nooo.” Little glow hedged, and not knowing how to explain it fully she added, “I just cried and I cried and I cried and I cried.”
