I Want a Worm to Eat
A young mother tried in vain to get her spoiled son to eat his meal. As he repeatedly refused to eat what she had prepared, she asked him what he would like to eat.
Trying to be as difficult as he could, the boy replied, “I want a worm to eat!” The mother had read in her psychology book that children should be given just what they want, so she instructed the father to go to the garden and find a worm.
The father did, but the son was still dissatisfied. He complained that he wanted the worm cooked. So his mother cooked the worm and set it on the table, but again the same old story of refusal. “Now what?” asked the mother, and the boy said he wanted his father to eat half the worm first.
Still believing in the idea that the child should have his way, the father reluctantly ate half the worm. No sooner had this been done than the boy let out a tremendous howl of dissatisfaction, “Daddy ate the half that I wanted.”
