Well my wife was moaning at me because all I talk about is ants, and its fair to say all she talks about is her work. Once the kids are in bed all we do is get bored of talking so end up watching films or playing PS3 or Xbox (seriously she can go on and on and on, give the Duracell bunny a run for its money).
Anyway she decided that she hated my ants because they remind her too much of spiders, although she soon shouts me in excitement when a leaf walks down the tubes or one escaped during feeding. So I suggested to get a rabbit but no they bite apparently, I then suggested a nice bird or a parrot as I know the kids would love one, I can just imagine Hayden dressing up as a pirate with a parrot on his shoulder! But no yet again, she had a very traumatic experience as a child when a blue budgie landed on her head (and I quote) "pecked my hair". She will not even walk by pigeons which is quite amusing actually as I get the kids to scare them and she runs off. So last wednesday I got home from work and was greeted by this little thing that I knew nothing about:
Playing with an orange that was supposed to be Atta food
Lazing on my sofa after scratching it half to death
Although the kids love her
Much to my surprise she said it only cost £10 and with the money she had saved she spent a further £50 at asda and tesco buying stuff for it! As I did the maths in my head she said I would get to name it so naturally I chose R2D2 to wind her up but that didn't happen, so I chose kicca which was my name on world of warcraft when we got addicted to that and I was told that kicca means cat in some language I think it was turkish but not 100% sure. Shes a little bundle of joy and now we bore each other with story's of ants and kittens! But I still win apparently lol.
