Real African Adventures- These ants are crazy!

Last night I made some popcorn in a disproportionately small pot because the rest of my dishes were dirty. Unsurprisingly, some popcorn popped right out of the pot onto the floor. I figured I would leave it there until I felt like sweeping it up. The next day, I saw a kernel in the hallway. Upon closer inspection, an army of ants was moving it from the kitchen to an unknown destination, probably their lair. I also saw 6 other pieces moving mysteriously. I didn't have the heart to kill them all. I wanted to see how far they got. At night, hours later, I went into my bedroom and found a pile of popcorn. Apparently they had gotten stuck on my fan cord. That is when I thought enough is enough and swept up the popcorn (and some ants) to throw out.
