What about Bob?

Evan was playing in the backyard today.  He came inside and said, "Mom! I have a new pet and his name is Bob." 
 
"Oh" I said "Where is Bob?" I ask.  Evan holds out his arm.  Upon closer inspection, I see a very small ant crawling up his arm.
 
"So you have an ant and his name is Bob?" I ask. Evan nods.
 
"Well, actually, this is the second Bob.  I accidentaly squished the first Bob but I found lots of ants by the woodpile.  And I named them all Bob.  So I won't forget their names.  And if this Bob dies, I can just go get another Bob."  How convenient.
 
I think Bob got loose in the house somewhere because now that Evan's in bed, I do not see Bob in his "little people" house.  Oh well, I'm sure Evan will find a new "Bob" tomorrow.
