While driving in the car yesterday I saw an ant crawl across the dashboard. I smashed it with my hand and loudly pronounced it dead. This is the conversation that followed:
Handsome: Mama, was it a boy and or a girl ant?
Me: I don't quite know.
Handsome: Why not?
Me: Well, it is hard to determine the gender of an ant.
Handsome: Why?
Sweet Pea: Because ants are so very tiny it is hard to see...their eyelashes. Usually, but not always, girl ants have longer eyelashes.
There's your answer, Handsome.
