Invasion Of The Ants

Yesterday evening, I saw and killed a couple of ants.

This morning, according to Mom, she got up and went into the kitchen--only to see dozens of ants. She didn't notice at first, since she was half asleep.

She rinsed out a cup, put ice and tea in it, and started to drink. She looked inside, and saw the ants crawling all over the ice...sort of using it as a life raft...

Yes, she drank some of them before looking! She then poured that out, rinsed all the cups out, and didn't tell me just how bad it was until a minute ago. Ick!

In the revised version, it wasn't dozens of ants--it was hundreds. Where they're coming from, I don't know.
