Nice pants

I'm walking around the house a couple of weeks ago, and I find Lola doing this wild woman dance in the hallway near the bathroom.  So I asked, "What are you doing?  Is your tummy hurting?"  She grins from ear to ear....WARNING, WARNING!  (You never can tell these days what she is up to!)  She says, "Mom, I've got squirrels in my pants!"  I stopped in my tracks, sat down the laundry basket, and said, "Excuse me???"  She said, "You know, you dance funny when you get squirrels in your pants, like you can't sit down."  I'm racking my brain to figure out what on Earth my child is talking about.  Bam!  It hits me.  I asked her, "Lola, are you talking about ants in your pants?"  She stopped dancing, and said "oh yeah, ants.  I knew it was something outside!"
