Tape Worm:

We have this reoccurring discussion about tape worms. I know it’s a bit strange but for some reason the damn thing keeps coming up! When Kate and I were talking about the two girls eating like pigs but being so skinny, it was there. When I looked at the pictures from my birthday and realized that I am not the skinny girl I think of myself as, it was there. When Kate and I were discussing the children outside walking barefooted in the nasty streets of BCN, it was there. And when I was walking with Alex in the sunny cobblestone streets of Villafrance, it was there. For some reason I have thought or talked about tape worms ever since I got here. Alex kindly explained that he thought that Kate might have a tape worm because she can house just about everything in the flat and not gain a pound. He also told me how she could extract the worm from her body by eating only salty foods and then holding a glass of water near her mouth and when the worm came out of her mouth to drink she could grab it and yank it out. I about died when he said this, but Kate also told me the same story so I guess it’s been done before. I’m seriously going to have to look these suckers up on the net because it’s freaking me out that I keep hearing about ‘em and hell I want one!
