See, this is why I can't be a cool European Glow Worm. In no universe would I be able to pull off white pants. They WILL get stained, and then they're ruined. Oh, plus I'm American.

You could pull them off without staining them if you drape them neatly over a clean chair. But then you'd be standing there trouserless (pants means undies over there) with Margot and Charlie....

Would that be so bad, though?

Another fun fact. Their population is on decline and half of the European glow worm species are threatened with extinction.
