As they walk to the sink, Ms. Miller looks over at the table and sees Siggy and the mealworm that's rehydrating in a dish of water. "What's going on here?" she asks.

"Oh, that's my Venus flytrap Siggy," Mike replies. "I was just about to feed it a mealworm snack."

"You know," Ms. Miller says, "You're not supposed to have pets here."

Mike responds:

• "Oh, but Siggy isn't a pet - she's a plant."
