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.
