Yesterday Ella kicked an ant hole near our house multiple times. She was extremely upset when some of the bigger red ants hitched a ride home in her shoes. She hasn't stopped asking questions about ants since. This morning we went over by the ant hole to watch the ants work for a minute.
Ella: Mom, why are they working so hard?
Me: Because ants are hard workers and they are busy gathering food for the winter. It takes them all summer to gather enough food. You can't bug them or kick them because it makes them mad.
Ella: Do you think they need some help gathering food? I could help them, but mom... I think I'm a little too big to fit in their house.

life would be much simpler if we all thought like Ella does.
Cute! Has she seen Bug's Life or the Ant Bully?
I hope you one day write a book of the darling Ella conversations. She is the cutest!
