Ants!


I can't post a picture, but I'm sure you'll be able to visualize ....

This morning before we took the kiddo's to daycare, Jay had to pee. This is a every morning ritual as we're walking out the door. He likes to pee on ants off the side of the porch. His Daddy taught him that. Can you believe that? Marlboro Man actually encourages that. Jay thinks it's the most awesome thing in the world. To pee on an Ant!

Anyway, they had gone out a few minutes ahead of me. As I came out the door, all I could hear was giggling and hooting! All four of them, yes including MM, was behind the porch swing. Sam and Jay were peeing on (pretend ants in the bushes) ants, and MM was rooting them on.

Meg was standing in the middle with her skirt down around her ankles like the boys. Her Daddy was telling her, "Meggie, you're a girl. You can't pee on Ants." He was getting a real worried look on his face and didn't know what to do with her. She kept insisting that she wanted to pee on an Ant too! He was almost stuttering, and the boys were having so much fun that she wanted to join in! Finally he said, "Go have your Mommy help you." Talk about passing the B-U-C-K!

Poor Marlboro Man .... he's got his work cut out for him raising a girl on this farm!

... and as always, be blessed.
