A couple weeks ago, I introduced my boys to that renowned elementary delicacy: Ants On A Log. You know, celery loaded with peanut butter, and topped with raisins, not to be confused with its even tastier cousin “Ants on a Toilet Seat,” apple rings being the toilet seat. But I digress.

Anyway, today my 5-year-old, “The Captain” asked if we could have “Ants in a Pipe” for a snack today, which made me laugh because I realized that never in his life has he seen a hallowed out log, though I was very impressed that he was able to transfer the concept to something that he has seen: construction pipes.

I never thought snack time could be so revealing as to location… Salud!
