#angleworm

There is one thing that makes it more complicated, and that is that there is such a big difference between the front end and the back end. A worm never goes backwards, and so for that reason, it has its head only at one end. But if God made angleworms so they can come apart and then grow out again, why, there must be some sort of secret nerve that leads out in the back end so that later on it can think. Otherwise it couldn’t get along by itself. But the back end has a very tiny brain. It can probably remember its other half, which went first and made all the decisions. And so now,” said Sophia, sitting up, “now the back end says, ‘Which way should I grow out? Should I make a new tail, or should I make a new head? Should I go on following and never have to make any important decisions, or should I be the one who always knows best, until I come apart again? That would be exciting.’ But maybe he’s so used to being the tail that he just lets things go on the way they are. Did you write everything I said?
