I am sure that you have all seen our ant hills.
And the way I see it..... ant hills come, and ant hills go. This is just the way things are.
I am sure there is a perfectly good place for ants in the ecosystem, but it is neither in the middle of our yard nor in our herb garden. So here is how it works: if they build without a permit, their buildings get demolished, and they are forced to move further away.
I consider that sound reasoning on my part, but SJ apparently disagrees with my logic.
After witnessing the eviction of numerous ant squatters, he concocts a plan to buy them time:
Nice try, buddy. They are out of here.
"No, Mommy! Don't turn the hose on them! The Bible says to consider the ant!"
His scepticism showed all over his face, but the garden hose was already doing its work.
"It does, son... but I am sure it will be perfectly okay to consider them from a distance." ;)
I just know that he is already dreaming up a way to halt future evictions, but I will be ready. Those ants are not going to set up a permanent residence here.
You have got to hand it to him though.... that was some creative advocacy right there.
