*Of "Ant Butts" and Other Such*

Okay, let me preface this video by saying that when I was a senior in high school, we went on a pioneer trek and I was the "Ma". One of the leaders told us that if we ever had to survive off the land, we could eat the butts of ants, and they are really sugary, so we could get some energy. He told us though, to be carefull because the heads will pinch you, so what you do is grab them by the head, squeeze it, and bite off the butt. Me being the daredevil that I am tried it. They actually do really taste quite sweet. I have told my kids this story and last night we were out letting the goats graze in the front, so they could eat all the dandelions, and we saw a bunch of ants. Caleb said he wanted to eat one so I said "go ahead, be my guest." this video is what he thought about it. Normally I don't let my kids say this word, I think it's crude, so whenever I hear them say it I just say "please say bum." This is an exception to that rule, because it was so funny. I am sorry that I am talking, my voice is annoying, but listen to Caleb "stinkin" cute voice.
