Hi friends, before we dive into today's episode, I want to encourage you to check out our

Kids Poetry Special on the Slowdown.

We made five fabulous episodes featuring cool young poets, word games, and awesome conversation

with award-winning author and host, Major Jackson.

The episode started on May 8th and ran until May 12th, and you can find them by searching

for the Slowdown wherever you get your podcasts.

We had a blast learning from kids who write, rhyme, and sing about their lives, and we think

you will too.

Again, search for the Slowdown wherever you listen to podcasts.

You're listening to Brains On, where we're serious about being curious.

If you were shrunk down to the size of an ant, what would you do?

I would build ant hills and sing somebody because I'm the fire ant.

I would sneak around on people.

If I were an ant, I would eat a giant pizza at my favorite restaurant.

If I could shrink down to the size of an ant, I would explore my backyard, collect

mica, climb trees that would become infinitely tall, and hard-boiled to my eggs.

If I were an ant, I would eat everybody's ass from Cadelin' Cine.

You're listening to Brains On.

Those voices you just heard were Judah from St. Paul, Millie in Brandon, Florida,

Michele in Rachele in London, Evan from Herndon, Virginia, and Sabine from Seattle.

As you might have guessed, today's show is all about ants.

With me to explore the topic is 12-year-old Grayson Damidian from Lancaster, Kentucky.
