But there were millions of them, which was why dad was so anxious to get rid of them. “They’re totally destroying our beans, ”he told Mom over lunchtime one Saturday. “I’ve been trying to keep them out of the tomatoes, but I don’t know if I can make it. ” “Isn’t there something you can do about them? ”Mom asked.
