Seriously?’ laughed the other worker, leaning closer for a look. They both watched as the tiny critters scurried around the stamp, forming a miniature parade. Finally, a delivery driver passing by chimed in, ‘Maybe it’s their new stamp design—“Ant Family Adventure”!’ Everyone burst out laughing, and the neighbor left with a smile, thinking maybe Jacksonville’s mail had just gotten a little more entertaining.
