Humans are like anteaters in the morning

in #life7 years ago

It's me, Ant, the Anteater!

Learning the English language wasn't particularly easy for me as we, anteaters, normally communicate via licks and grunts (though I swear my human housemate seems to speak 'Anteater' in his sleep) but learning English was necessary to better communicate with humans. Thing is we don't have many friends. In fact, anteaters don't like socializing at all - not even with our partners - but I am learning to do that too if I want to figure humans out.

However, every day I hop in a train and realize that humans are a lot like anteaters in the morning, they avoid social interaction whatsoever until their 'first coffee' at work. I don't get the whole 'coffee' thing but I am happy about this behaviour, makes my mornings a little easier. It also helps me enjoy my amazing morning commute:

Morning commute you ask? Of course! If I want to understand humans I have to work to make a living too!

What do you guys do?

I work in the filmmaking industry. I fell in love with movies when I watched classics like Bugs Life and Antz as a kid. As an adolescent my thing were comedies such as 'Legion of Fire: Killer Ants' - A movie about humans being scared of food is hilarious! Fire ants can be a little spicy sometimes but I would definitely not run from them...
As an adult, my favourite is Phase IV, if you haven't seen it here's a trippy trailer:

I think the thing I now understand the most of human behaviour is the feeling you have on Fridays. Man I was so looking forward to the weekend.

So this weekend is my human housemate's birthday, we will be celebrating tonight and I need to make sure I get him something nice. Do you think he will like an Ant Farm as a gift? I don't know what we will be doing though, his girlfriend is preparing a surprise and we will find out tonight, I'll let you know what went on.

What are you humans up to this weekend?

Goodbye, have an excellent one!
Ant, the anteater

Did you know that ants began farming fungus 70 million years ago, they even add chemicals onto their fungus crop and fertilized it with manure. That's 50 million years before humans!
