She’s very antsy.

Aww Nuts!

Assorted ants eh. Why he so brilli-ant.

Marbles.

Chocolate coated ants!

I wonder if he spiced things up with some fire ants

See today’s “Strange Brew”:

Obviously something from IKEA. (Guess what the A stands for)

It could be chocolate currANTS.

I suppose it’s sort of nice and cute that they are all individually wrapped (with all that went into that). It might have been even nicer, if each one did not have to be individually unwrapped.

The ones wrapped in green are mint-flavored, and the ones wrapped in red are made with jalapeno.

The green ones are ants. The red ones are uncles.

Ants.

Let me guess – ants!

What else would you buy for your aunt?

At least they’re not uncle eaters.

probably flies

Wow! That was a lot of work.

The big boxes have queens with eggs.

He spent months gathering the acorns for his love!

Reminds me of a cartoon last year where the anteater said, “Heck with ants” as he dove his snout deep into the bottom of a Pringles can.

Good things come in small packages, but wrapping those things ant so easy.

Nuts! I mean ants!

LMAO!

Good guess.

Mostly bows and wrapping paper. Oh, nuts!

I have a feeling the gift opening is going to be anty-climatic.

I once petted an anteater. They have rough fur. Kind of wiry. I could have used an anteater in my last house – I had an “ant condo” in my landscaping. When I threw ant poison on it, they threw it back out. Nothing made them leave. We finally decided to just share the yard.
