Small Talk #76

Ants don't make noises, "They scuttle silently", Baba says, "silently but deadly determined."

Our ants are so tiny it's difficult to see them. Baba picked up something on the work surface and found it was a pile of hundreds of an ants fighting over a tiny piece of bread. He became an anticidal maniac, so Daddy said.

Daddy also started singing "There are ants, ants crawling up your pants...". Granny wasn't amused. She hates ants.

Baba's making fish soup stock in a saucepan. He's now not sure if they're herbs or ants on the surface!

"Extra protein!" said Granny, surprisingly!
