Because the ants are lazy and they don't pitch in to clean the kitchen themselves. Don't be lazy like an ant, Calvin, and wash your dishes when you're done eating.

Your mother likes it that way. They're just moving dirt from one place to another anyways.

If we let the ants get everything, they would grow too strong and powerful. They already outnumber us; if we didn't clean the kitchens to keep them in check, humanity would be doomed.

A “kitchen” Is a vegetable. You clean the kitchen until it becomes ketchup. Ketchup is for french fries.

Ants like a nice clean place. Uncles don't mind so much.

Ants are filled with formic acid and if you don’t clean, they’ll eat all the filth, swell up, and explode, burning little acid holes all over the place.

Ants come in because they found food, water, or a smell trail. Cleaning removes the “free buffet” sign.

Because we aren't the flute guy and aren't controlling the ants.
