the ants

I do not know if it because of my work schedule or I am just slacking, but I am not up on the housework like I should be. Well warm weather is here and so are the ants. They are coming in through the patio door in the corner.... I think the smell all the food the kids drop. Another conversation:

Mom: "I do not like these ants in my house we need to figure out how to get them out."

AJ: "Why mom, they are black ants, black ants are nice they won't pinch you like the red ones."

Mom: "I don't care, do you want ants crawling on you when you are sleeping or playing, 'cause I don't. Plus I didn't just spend all that money on groceries for ants to eat."

AJ: "Well then maybe you should have just bought some groceries for the ants and then they won't need to come and look for our food. What are we going to give the ants."

Mom: "Nothing... I don't want to give them anything."

AJ: "That's not sharing."

Mom: "Fine, give them this piece of pancake, but throw it way out in the backyard."
