I don’t know what traffic in Milborough was like, but I can easily imagine that the country roads took a long time to clear of snow and ice and winter driving for John Patterson going home to his nest might have felt like an ant trying to deal with a 7-year-old girl and her sand.
This makes me want to scold Elizabeth that she’s being mean to the ants and leave them alone and let them go home to their nest. I know this is part of the learning process for young children but at the same time they do need to learn not to be deliberately cruel to animals for their own amusement. Yeah, I know it’s just ants…they’re still animals.

Ah, we’ve all had those days. Only we usually feel like it’s something other than sand getting dumped on us.
