The ant veered away, like I'm so bad he can sense me smiling at him. He crawled off the skull and was just about to head for home when the sand spilled away beneath his feet and he seemed to sink like one of those explorers in those Tarzan movies who step in quick sand.

I know that it is an ant lion that’s been lying there under the dirt all this time just waiting for an ant to come along. Now it's got him, reaching out with a pair of long strong ant chomping jaws that are part arm and part teeth and he is sucking him right down to the bottom of its pit to where he will suck him dry and chew what’s left.

Lucky ant.

Which brings me right back to where I shouldn't have been, when I did what I did what got me into all of this.

By this time I'd got back from pretending to go to the pee hole, and little Jenny had fallen asleep on my right arm, holding onto my right hand. She'd been like this for nearly an hour and my arm was beginning to get that pins and needles feeling that always feels as if there are a half a thousand fire ants crawling underneath your skin, nibbling away at your nerve endings with their burning little nips; and my arm pits were getting sticky from the heat.

On top of that she'd begun to drool. Stinking kid drool, puddling up stickily about the hairs on my right forearm.

So I ask you, what man in his right mind can put up with this kind of abuse? I figured I had to do something about it.

That's when I thought of something funny.

Something so god damned funny I still ain't laughing over it.

I reached over with my left hand and gently, oh so gently reached over to little Jenny's arm and slid it loose from my right hand.

Then gently, oh so gently, I hoisted her hand up until it was almost touching the little thalidomide freak's left handlet.
