Tickle Ants

The other day we were talking about the letter 'A', they needed to color an ant page.  My babes think that everything should be colored blue or green - must be their favorite colors.  The conversation went like this...

S said, "Mrs. Sasaki, what color are ants?"

I  responded, "Ants are usually brown, black or sometimes red.  The red ants can bite, so don't go near the red ants."

S said, "Ohhhhhh, hm."

J chirped, "So, if the red ants bite - do the black ants tickle?"

And this is why I love my job.
