California Health Insurance Quotes and Blog

Five-year-old Brooklyn and three-year-old Emma-Jeanne hatched a diabolical plan in order to avoid Earth Day cleanup chores – a family tradition. They’d eat lots of earthworms and get sick. Fortunately, their guardians had known enough to buy two individual child plans from a California Health Insurance agent.

Earth Day was a Gaia-bration in the Aguirre household. “We have to clean up the Earth,” Mother Mixie told five-year-old Brooklyn and three-year-old Emma-Jeanne, “That’s what Earth Day is for.”

But the girls didn’t want to go outside to the town dump to do clean up chores with a bunch of people, especially adults, that they didn’t know. Besides, they were watching Dora the Explorer on TV and Dora was about to do something really exciting. 

Mother Mixie had other ideas. She reached over to shut off the TV. “But Dora was going to”– Brooklyn said. Emma-Jeanne merely wailed. “Waaa!” she screamed.

The girls were marched off with Mother Mixie to the environs adjacent to the town dump where there were woods and lots of trash, mostly paper products to clean up, but no playground for kids and worse, no TV. “Here’s a big trash bag for my big girls,” Mother Mixie instructed. “It’ll be fun to fill it with trash — like those paper cups and plates,” she pointed to. But Brooklyn and Emma-Jeanne had other ideas. The grassy area by the woods where they were also had lots of wormholes where the worms came up for nice spring air. Brooklyn whispered something in her little sister’s ear. Both tykes smiled and with Mother Mixie off supervising and not paying attention, the commenced eating worms. “They’re like spaghetti,” Emma-Jeanne said, with a struggling worm blindly groping as it protruded from her little lips. The taste wasn’t so unpleasant and they weren’t chewing – but fifteen minutes later both toddlers were getting very sick. Finally, Mother Mixie looked over at them, her attention captured by Brooklyn’s last squirming snack. “What are you girls doing?” Mother Mixie screamed.  

But their diabolical plan had worked. Within five minutes the girls were headed toward the nearest ER. They even had a TV in their room in the children’s wing where they ended up. It was all paid for too – as Mother Mixie had purchased two child plans from a California Health Insurance agent. Guess what was on the TV? Why it was the very same episode of Dora the Explorer that they’d been watching when Dora was about to do something exciting.
