Once there was an ant...

There is no real point to this post. I was having fun taking a close picture of an ant (which was huge!) which had a butt that sticks up around 70 degrees from the rest of its body. Then Megan said, "It needs a scale, you don't see how big it is." So we put bird next to the ant... apparently the ant didn't like bird and decided to attack, quite vigirously, so I came to Bird's aid and squished him. But that sounded way to boring... so I wrote another story.

Once there was an ant, let's call him Timmy. Timmy loved nothing more than to wander around old rock walls looking for things to eat with his butt stuck up in the air at an incredible angle.
Read what happens when I start to get a little bored...



Left and right Timmy went, to and fro... always looking for more food to carry back to the hive, chew up, spit out, and then give to larve to eat. Timmy had a good life, a happy life... with his odd butt.


Then one day along came Birdzilla, threatening to destroy the happy life that Timmy had built for himself (along with his 12,000,000 brothers and sisters). Timmy was unsure what to do about the large, menacing, and incredibly well painted Birdzilla... Timmy was confused.

Eventually though like all good ants Timmy remembered what God made him for. So Timmy attacked and tried to kill Birdzilla in order to have his colony eat him for dinner. There was a great struggle and ultimately Timmy lost his battle again Birdzilla as the hand of God (or Josh) stepped in to protect Birdzilla.

The moral of the story is.... well.... don't attack Birdzilla or God will come and crush you on the rocks? I think that's found in the book of Joshuaethis, 23rd chapter.

Holy cow, giant ant!

Are you really bored when you're halfway around the world? You know, if you're like exactly on the other side of the world from me, we should both put pieces of bread on the ground, and then we can make the earth into a sandwich!

Great story Josh. Do you remember the science fiction book you wrote in about 7th or 8th grade? We could give Adam a can of white paint and let him mark your ant's territory. I am very glad that Bird took control of the situation as I am not fond of ants with big butts. See you both soon. Love forever and always, Mom
