Do NOT, leave night crawlers in your wife's fridge.
Took my son to Randolph's yesterday to grab some crickets and weight a catfish for the tournament. My daughter is the one that likes to fish with worms. 1st mistake. I let him pick out he worms. He wanted the BIG worms. Ok, no big deal. They will last 2/3 days.
We get back, my daughter doesn't like them, because they are too big for her hook. I told him to take them back up to the house.
I caught a few cats last night and came in late. We had errands to run 6 month teeth cleaning, and a few appointments. Wife kids leave before me. I'm about to leave and notice the cup of worms sitting on the floor at the back door with a cricket cage. I throw a piece of potato in for the crickets and called it good, knowing I would be back around dark.
I had already locked up the outside, so it was difficult to get to my bait fridge. I was running late. So I just threw the worms in one of the inside fridges. Happens to be the one she uses to keep baby formula in. I didnt do a in-depth study of the bait cup, but it felt closed to me.
We get back and start unloading groceries and she starts yelling about me turning over the worms in her fridge. I exclaimed, Mrs SW338 I most certainly didnt turn the worms over. She says there is dirt every where. I went to go look, and sure enough dirt is every where. I'm puzzled at this point, but assume my son went and played with the worms. He swore up and down he didnt. his sister took up and said he had not, and told me where they were getting cat rods ready.
I sorta threw it off as I was moving the rest of the groceries in side.
I came back in and Mrs SW338 is screaming. OMG OMG OMG. I know what happened....
Ok! What happened then? She proceeds to hand me the left hand bottom drawer. There are 4-5 night crawlers at the bottom of the refrigerator. I'll be honest I was shocked but laughed my tail off. I had to hear all about me leaving the top unsecu mm
She hands me a spray bottle of bleach and paper towels, and tells me to clean it up. After I take everything out.
Cleaning up I notice a hint of dirt on the opposite side of the fridge. Sure enough as I move a head of lettuce another night crawler. She really got going at that point. She was yelling cussing, and generally a fuss!
They apparently did not like the cold, and could lift at least some portion of the lid. Rather funny looking back
