WELCOME!
Thanks for stopping by The Franko Blog!
We will talk about everything from the news of the day, to random thoughts.  This is not a one-way conversation…I invite you to give me your thoughts on things I blog about, and things I don’t.  No topic is off limits!

BTW…disagreement is part of the game. But, please keep it clean. This is an all ages show!

What’s an Ant?
Posted on 04/21 at 05:43 AM.

Sounds like a simple question.

But, when asked by my two-year-old nephew, the answer is not so simple.

We were in the backyard last week, Michael spotted an ant crawling across the driveway.  He pointed and said, “what’s that Uncle Brad”?

“An ant”, I said. 

Michael responded with, “what’s an ant”?

How do you explain what an ant is, to a two-year-old?

 
 
COMMENTS

My son says “it’s a mean, nasty little booger that hurts like poop when it bits you"-- he’s petrified of ants.  He doesn’t like to see them on tv/pictures, talk about them, or see them live and in person.  He said to tell Michael to “run, run, run as fast as you can”

t is hard sometimes to explain to our children in terms they can understand. I think I would have told your nephew: “ An ant is a little animal that is very strong. An ant can carry 10 times his weight in his toys, and if you eat right and drink all your milk you will be as strong as an ant!”
