A Cautionary Note

Any child in possession of an unsecured ant farm is in serious danger of being bitten by really pissed off ants. I recommend that you duct tape or superglue the lid on. This is because no matter how many times you tell him not to, no 7 year-old boy (autism afflicted or otherwise) is able to resist the temptation to remove the lid. Ian made it 8 hours before having his neck savagely chewed by one of those crazed little buggers. Good luck to all of you who gave these as Christmas gifts last month.

My husband warned me this could happen, so we have put off the ant farm for now- despite Owen's urging to the contrary.
What kind of ants do they send you for those farms?? Nasty, angry ones I guess.
We'll stick with the safer alternative of Chia pets for now! :)
