Mom, can I eat these new ants?

Thank you for asking, Pia. The answer is Absolutely Not!

The ants returned over the weekend and Mom took that as a personal smack in the face, given she had de-ant-ed this house just a month ago. This batch, unfortunately, seemed to come in with the latest pet food shipment, which had sat outside on the porch after delivery for about an hour or in ant-time, all the time in the world to stake a claim.

We didn’t empty the delivery box until the following day and by then, the ants had already made themselves at home in multiple rooms. Why they hadn’t made popcorn and turned on the TV is baffling, since they found in so many places to wander about. But Mom used her trusty systematic method of rounding them up to a central location and then, lets them have it by way of juicy, fresh ant bait. Bye, bye ants. Have a lovely trip elsewhere!

What, Pia? Are you waiting for something?

I’m waiting to discuss something with Mom, specifically, my ants. I haven’t seen them lately. I miss them. Mom knows where they are, I’m certain.

Pia, you’re not getting any ants. No one wants ants here. Your belly didn’t like the ants, remember? Mom will not have ants in this house, not a single one. And they are most definitely not your ants.

You just wait, Dad. Sooner or later, my ants will be back and we’ll continue this conversation then.

Well, if we have anything to say about it, and WE DO, it might be a long while before the ants return. If they know you’re waiting here just to eat them, why would they want to visit? Think of it as them going on a spring break vacation far away from here, at some sunny locale soaking up the rays, checking out each other and ordering virgin ant drinks like Ants on the Beach or Ants in the Pants. Wouldn’t you rather have that kind of life for them instead of being pounced upon and eaten?

I’m not answering. You’re being silly now, Dad.
