Layne came in from working outside on Friday and began eating some peanut m&m's (his favorite) and almonds out of a plastic bag. He was munching away when I came into the kitchen and looked up into his blue eyes. His chin was covered with ants, forming a kind of living goatee. As I looked closer, I saw more ants crawling all around his mouth. His hand was dipping into the candy bag, full of ants. Ants were crawling up his fingers. Ants, ants everywhere. He never noticed. When I pointed them out to him, he, very sheepishly, said, "well, let the ants look out for themselves!" He finished his mouthful, declaring that the flavor seemed untarnished. But he threw the rest away. What a man!
