Disease, Dirt, and Girls

Gardening Club is not for everybody. Molly needs some reassurance that she will contract neither rabies nor ebola, depending on the week, from worms in the dirt. Mia showing off her bravery, takes the newly chopped worm over to the compost bin, “rehoming” it. Soon, she, remembering her own distaste for worms, slathers her hands in sanitizer. But the March air chills her newly wetted hands - “brrr”. Meanwhile Jay, the only boy in the group, practices throwing mud balls over the fence. Perhaps they will all choose clubs more wisely from now on: ones without disease, dirt, or girls.
