Hey, EOM...This is exactly the kind of post I was in the mood for. 1) Happy news! Tell your wife how excited I am for her! You know, I'd love to read her some time!!!! Better ---we want her name in lights!!! 2) A scientific question. I went to my brilliant and well-read sons. Mom: Pete's little boy wants to know why ants don't drown when it rains. CW: They do drown, but there's so many of 'em, you don't notice any are missing. Ammo: No, they don't. THey move to higher ground. They're not stupid. CW: Mom, I told you last week there are ants in the poolhouse. Mom: No, you didn't! CW: Yes I did. You weren't listening to me again. You never listen to me. Ammo: We had ants in our dorm room at camp. We got a thing of Raid and sprayed them and watched them die. They didn't come back either. Mom: THe exterminator was just here! Why didn't you tell me! CW: I did! And it's not my fault either. They're walking in the front door. Ammo: THey wanted the chips. CW: Hey! I'm really careful in the kitchen out there. Ammo: No, in our dorm room. They got in our chips. We had to throw them out. They were all over the chips. It was gross. Mom: I'm NOT calling the exterminator back! CW: Ants drown. THey float around for a while and then they drown. Ammo: THey go in their houses, like we do. CW (with a sneer): Oh sure. And then their houses fill up and they drown. Ammo: Hey, mom! Did you see all those wasps we drowned in the pool? Mom: THere are wasps in the POOL? CW: WHen are we gonna eat? Ammo: I have some stuff left from camp. Let's go watch TV and eat it. CW: DOes it have ants in it? Ammo: Naw---but it tastes like Raid. Hope that helps.
