How the hell did a worm end up on DH's pjyama top?

[desperatehousewife]

How did a tiny little wriggly worm end up in a top floor bedroom on the arm of my DH's pjyama top?

Window open?
Alien abduction?
Sleepwalking?
Any big plants in your bedroom?
Brought in by a 'sympathetic' child as it'd be happier living indoors?

NBG - no washing doesn't get hung outside at mo. It must have come in through the window or the chimeny in our bedroom. Bizarre or what? Never heard of a worm scaling a 4 spilt level victorian house before.

Either that or a bird had it and dropped it down our chimney?

Lucky just the worm came down the chimnet then. We had a bird in ours for 24hrs before dh was at home to get it out, and he was terrified that it'd be a vicious thing the size of an eagle flying at him It was a baby sparrow in the end, and he felt all warm and glowing because he'd rescued it!

That wasn't the same day he had the slug on him. No connection. But he's also had ants in his hair before now
And he went to work with my g string hanging off the velcro on his combat trousers once
He seems to attract random items about his person...

we once found a caterpillar in ds1 bed (3rd floor) he is still scared of caterpillars now - but he did have a jungle duvet cover on so maybe it wwas confused
btw have no idea about the worm

Ahh, I am thinking the chimney holds the key now. Lots of baby birds round where I live, so maybe Mummy bird was bringing her babies some worms and one fell down the chimney (assumming you have a nest on your chimney stack. Now the question is how did said worm get from fireplace to DHs PJ top????????????

yes but dh just told me that the chimmney is capped - so can't have fallen down chimney. Humph. this is really bugging me now!

how long since you washed the PJ

could it be that you have worm eggs somewhere and they are hatching ???

like from plant pot

pmsl at this thread and visions of your dh jumping around. I would have FREAKED. Ditto the slug story. that is GRIM. What kind of worm was it? I did once have 2 kilos of worms delivered by the post man. they live in my garage nad when I feed them I always think about the possibility of getting them on my clothes...but I'm assuming you don;t keep pet worms?

don't have a pot plant upstairs anywhere. Certainly don't keep pet worms (who does? ). Where would a worm egg have come from?

I would imagine although my biology is not very accurate

but I would imagine that a worm egg would come out of a

WORM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You lot are useless! I thought someone might have a sensible answer to this bizarre conumdrum!

sorry DHW

Can't think of a sensible solution

I was quite happily wriggling at the bottom of the garden when I was suddenly struck by an unsettling thought: is there anything beyond the garden? Is there more to life than wriggling at the bottom of someone's bit of grass? So I set off on what would be a disturbing experience.....

It's hard to type when you're a worm so I can only do it in short bursts

lww

just read this thread and am more by the slug up a neck and pet worms
still havent an answer though ??
doesnt have to have originated from the pj's could off been on another item of clothing then transfered to clean washing?
kids putting them in pockets and it suviving wash cycle???
i give up !!!

fell off the bl&&dy computer chair
took me ages to climb back on.....
grrrrr (please note: worms can growl)

pmsl

so anyway I start towards a huge thing at the other end of the garden and it takes me a whole day to get there, man it's huge and scary looking with lights going on and off again, weird....
But it feels like it's warm inside
I'm a little scared though I'll admit, but taking my courage with both hands (it's a french expression, my family emigrated from the 'continent' on a ship carrying fine foods - well, fine until we got in as well, hehehe)- which is hard for a worm - I wriggle under a patio door and into the warm........

lol he's from Sherborne!

so am I

maybe its a Sherborne thing

(really the slug came in on our cat who sleeps on top of dd1s clothes drawers)

littlewrigglyworm - go back from whence you came - you are not welcome in my house.

The PJs were from lidl (£6.99 a pair - and they are surprisingly nice considering price and the shop they were from!) Maybe you are a Lidl worm? From German or eastern block origin?

I am not german or eastern block, I am most definitely of french stock
truth is, having seen what they do to snails over there my family thought it safer to emigrate
I really thought in England, a country of (eccentric) animal lovers, I would be more than welcome in any home

how disappointing
I am quite harmless
I just wanted to know your husband a bit betterm he seemed so cuddly

you scared the be-jesus out of him. And me for that matter - I though you were a piece of harmless thread - I was the one who tried to pick you off his PJs. Imagine my surprise when you wriggled in that rather disgusting sort of manner. Sorry DH threw you out of the top floor window and all that....
