Red Light, Green Light and Fireants

Horrible little things, those fireants! Poor Eirena is learning the painful way that she can't walk around barefoot and she can't stick her hand in any old pile of dirt. On more than one occasion she has been very excited about diving into a dirt pile only to scream in pain as the dirt pile turned out to be a nice fireant mound. But it has impressed on her the phrase I often repeat to her "watch out for ants".


Today in the car she was playing "red light, green light".
me: red says...
E: stop
me: green says...
E: go
E: blue light says...
me: er... blue light says watch out for the police car
E: blue, watch out, watch out ants may bite you!


Here she is after another ant-biting episode yesterday... she recovers fairly quickly!
