My sons were bit by red ants when I brought them to my moms in Alabama when they were little and now all they say to me about Alabama is “the ants in alabama are ugly!”

One of the first things I learned upon coming to Miami when five years old was to stay away from red ants and those green caterpillars with the purple bristles. I’d rather get bitten by an alligator !
