What scares you, so long after the immediate threat is gone? We likely all have some serious flashback memories – I will never ask for those. Or at least I think I am calm when falling over backwards to get away… It’s been a few decades since this event, and if I am ever surprised by an ant, or worse a colony of ants, I calmly freak right the hell out.
Even when I still had her perfect red hand print on my face! I don’t remember what happened afterwards, but I think our stupid fight was quickly forgotten and I am still grateful that she forgot our silly fight and helped me so quickly and efficiently. She had me strip naked in our back yard and used the garden hose to get the ants off of me. My sister heard me from a block away (I remember her saying she never heard screaming like it) – from inside our brick, air conditioned house – as I ran for home. Credit embedded in the photo – that is what I looked down on! Those jaws. I looked down and I was covered from the waist down in gigantic red wood ants.Īka carpenter ants. I sat there sobbing my little-kid heart out, face in hands, until I felt something bite my right side. I ran out of the house, around the corner to the next block, and sat on a big lump of dug-up concrete that wasn’t quite on the side of the road but also not quite in someone’s yard. My older sister and I got into a fight when we were home alone (I belive it was about whether Boy George was a man or a woman) and she slapped the HELL out of me. I’m scared of large groups of ants to this day because of something that happened when I was about 10 or 11.
