Mom, Magpie asks, can you open the front door for me?
It is freezing cold out. The kind of cold that makes a mom like me think there is no way I'm opening the front door for no good reason.
I inquire further, I could open the door, but why exactly uh would I be opening the door?
Magpie replies: I just gotta let this little guy go, that's all,and she shows me an ant crawling up her arm.
II. My daughter Kay looks at an ant:
Mom!!!! Mom!!!!!!!!!!!! MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alarmed, I run up the stairs to Kay's room.
What's up little bear? I ask with genuine concern.
There is an ANT!!!!!!!!!! On my bed!!!!!!!! Get it! Get it! GET IT!!!!!!!!
I indeed "get it" with a tissue, and it is gone.
All gone, little pie. Not to worry, there's no more ant, I tell her.
She wails back, But Mom, there WAS an ant! An ANT!!! On my bed!! Are you SURE it's gone?
