A Statement I Had to Respond To Today

"Miss? I dropped the ants and they got out."

It transpired that this smol child had a smol ant farm that had come to grief. It was basically a jar with a lid that popped off ludicrously easily with some dirt and some twigs and some - yikes - ants.

We recovered two of them. I am telling myself that there were only two in the container and ignoring all other possibilities.
