Crazy, Sweet and a little strange!

The kids found a piece of wood in our driveway and under it were some ants...really big ones.  The boys immediately found various objects to smash the ants with; rocks, a baseball bat, a wrench, etc.  I looked over and Tatum was gone, but I could hear her voice.  She came out of the house talking very sweetly to one of the injured ants that she had taken inside for rehab.  The ant was doing fine and looked like it was going to make it.  Once she put the ant down with it's 'friends' she immediately began scolding the other ants.  "He's one of you!  Why are you hurting your own kind?  He's your family!  Be nice!"  Then, in true Tatum fashion, she got her notebook, pencil and magnifying glass and began to observe the ants.  Her conclusion: Ants are nice to their family ants, but mean to the ones that aren't in their family and that's why the ants attacked her rehabilitated ant!  He wasn't part of their family. 

And that's one of the crazy, sweet and a little strange things that go on around here!
