Grandma has a big clear plastic sheet over her fabric table runner/cover for her dining table. For practical purposes, it makes wiping down a lot easier after meals, preserving the cleanliness of the fabric underneath.
Caitlin was the last to finish her dinner; and Daddee had an engagement but came home to get the kids no-too-late that night. So I sat with her to chat and urge her to finish up.
An ant was crawling under the plastic sheet. Caitlin squashed it.
“… and the mummy and daddy will come looking for him and go AAARRGHHHH!”
It was funny but not really at the same time….
Hey, you must let her see “Ant Bully”. Not that it made any difference to my boys. hahaha…. except that they learnt a few more jokes.
The other thing is to teach her the theme of “pink panther” :
“dead ant, dead ant,
dead ant, dead ant, dead ant,
dead ant, dead ant…
dead ant, dead ant.”

Oh gosh….my son goes all out to kill ants and then laughs the joker laugh! Should I be concerned?

Stumped on this! Not a big fan of insects either but then the respect of all of God’s creation ….hmm ever thought about why cockroaches??? Guess as Daddee and her favourite person in the world (still the same I assume ..) you would have to enlighten her on the good and bad of the insect world.
Good luck!
