CONWAY, Ark. -- The worms in Phyllis Smith's garden are trying to tell her something.
They're saying "hi."
Smith has found herself losing the battle against the worms. She recently found a fruit with a message on it, clearly written by one of the unwanted guests.
"We got down and was pruning and got down there and just pulled open those tomato vines," Smith said. "There was a message that that bold bug had left on that tomato, and it said, 'hi.' And it just blew our minds. I laughed so hard."
Smith said she couldn't believe her eyes when she saw the message. She said she has sworn to do whatever it takes to get rid of the message's author.

Oh, did we laugh at the woman down the road. She's not picking her berries this year because birds peck them. She's afraid she'll get bird flu......

Phyllis is getting punked out by bugs - not only are they eating her crops, now they're taunting her!

Look more like a Kiss logo that didn't quite make it.

Looks to me like they were writing "this" but didn't finish by the time she interrupted their work. She better check the rest of her produce for the full message.

No, they are holding it wrong. Turn it the other way, it's a no. 14.

They were trying to write "help".

At least they didn't write their names in the snow.
