This post was deleted for the following reason: as much as I can't get enough of flesh eating worms, we have seen this one before. -- jessamyn
Ok -- that was disturbing!
But not as disturbing as Body Popping Face.

You should take a break from thinking that caecilians can grow to be five feet in length and instead look at a few photos or a youtube of them.

A friend of mine had her tubes tied last year for this very reason.

terms, not terns. Terns prefer salmon.

What's fun is watching this while listening to the Kronos Quartet performance of Howl.

the caecilian babies would only eat their mother's skin for about 10 minutes, once every three days, and often at night.
Yeah, that's pretty much what motherhood is like. Sigh.

Caecilian, youre breaking my skin
You're sloughing my epidermal layer
Oh, Caecilian, I'm down in the dirt
I'm begging you please to eat me
Caecilian, youre breaking my skin
You're sloughing my epidermal layer
Oh, Caecilian, I'm down in the dirt
I'm begging you please to eat me
Eating lunch in the afternoon with Caecilian
Down in the mudroom (eating lunch)
I sat up to say the grace
When I slither back down
Someone's eating my face
Caecilian, youre breaking my skin
You're sloughing my epidermal layer
Oh, Caecilian, I'm down in the dirt
I'm begging you please to eat me
Please eat me
Jubilation, she's shedding again,
I writhe on the floor and I chewing,
Jubilation, she's shedding again,
I fall on the floor and I chewing

False Dichotomy, I want so, so, so badly to favorite your comment. The riff, it is elegant, it is well-rhymed, it even gets in the echo verse.
But, since it makes me want to vomit, I just can't. Sorry. I have a rule that "makes me want to vomit" ≠ favorite.

The whole process sounds pretty similar to the first week of breastfeeding. Possible preferable.
