Ants in the Pants

Welcome to the A-Z Challenge!  Every day, except Sundays, I will do a post featuring each letter of the alphabet.  Most of these posts will be stories of things that have happened in the past.  But once in a while, if it works out, I'll do a current story.

Today letter, A, is about Ants.  Three years ago, my son, who was six, decided it would be great fun to dig up a red ant nest. The ants did not think that was a good idea, so they crawled in his pants and caused a whole lot of trouble!

I was in the kitchen when I heard the screaming.

"Mama, help!!!!!"

I ran into the garage and found my boy frantically trying to get ants off of his legs.

"Get out of your clothes!" I ordered.  The ants were all over his shorts, shirt, shoes, and socks.

He quickly obliged and ran into the house.  Meanwhile, this Mama waged war against the little red varmints.  I got out a can of Raid and put an end to their lives.

Now we have a little understanding with the ants.  My boy won't mess with them and they won't mess with us. Otherwise they'll face the wrath of the Queen Mama!
