I stupidly said yes to my daughter receiving an ant farm for Christmas. It sounded like a good idea at the time. Of course, you have to order the ants separately since ants don’t exactly have a long shelf life.
After months of reminders, I finally ordered the ants and they arrived unbeknownst to my daughter.
Instead of opening the package right away, I just left them sitting on a shelf. Finally, yesterday, I opened the envelope knowing full well, the ants were dead AND there they were lying prone all bunched in the tube.
Passive/aggressive behaviour, I know but I just don’t want to deal with the thought of having ants escaping and multiplying in my apartment. I am so not a pet person.
I now have come up with a cover story, not to be confused with lying, about what is happening with the ants.
