“Wiggle worms come⟳ in all age groups, sizes, shapes, and colors, and in both sexes. All wiggle worms have⟳ one factor in common—they are in constant motion. Watch⟳ your own⟳ wiggle worm tomorrow. Is he drumming on the desk, chewing his lip (or gum), wiggling a foot, sitting on first one hip and then the other […] asking a neighbor to borrow a sheet of paper?”

“Mom would tell⟳ me I wiggled worse than a worm; she would call⟳ me her wiggle worm. Heck, I was sitting on bones; I didn't have⟳ the padding she had. She must have⟳ had a lot of padding because I'd seen my dad pinch her on the butt a hundred times; she never complained; she would just smile⟳.”
