Conversations with my Mother - Insect Edition

Ma: I was attacked by flying ants yesterday!

Me: Really?

Ma: Yeah, I went outside to water my plants, and they just starting coming out of everywhere! Then I saw them getting in the house by a little crack near the bottom on the door, so I sprayed them.

Me: Wow.

Ma: Then, I came inside, and there was one crawling up my wall, and when I went to have a lie down, one was crawling on my pillow!

Me: Ewww.

Ma: Yeah. At first I thought they were termini...

Me: (ears perked) Yeeesss??

Ma: Termini...terminit..

Me: (waiting for it) Go on...

Ma: (pause, then..) TERMITES!

Me: You were going to say terminites, weren't you?

Ma: Yeah, well...

Me: And right there is another blog post.
