Yuck. Blah. Ugh.
IAN IF YOUR STORY IS ABOUT SPIDERS, PUT THAT IN THE TITLE. I thought this was a thread about a hamster with goosebumps. I thought, "Oh how cute," clicked but it's a NOPE thread. A big fat NOPE, NOPE, NOPE thread.
Funny spider stories - fine, although I don't think humor and spiders go hand in leg in leg in leg in leg in leg in leg in leg in fuzzy, horrible leg.
My older daughter is terrified of spiders, I can't imagine where she would have picked up such an irrational fear.
One morning she screamed from the bathroom in such a horrifying way that we had people calling from upstairs making sure no one was dying.
The door closes with a skeleton key and she was trying to get out but there was a tarantula the size of a grapefruit on the door. (the spider gets bigger with every retelling) We couldn't do anything because the window is minuscule and one story up. She keeps reminding me that I was telling her to throw a towel over it and she was wailing, "I don't want to make it mad."
It took almost an hour to get her to turn the key - by then I had lost out on the best mother awards for the next ten years because I had used every bad word that I know, but she's an adult so I'm pretty sure she knew MOST of them already.
And then we still had the puppy sized arachnid on the door to get rid of. Welcome to Lebanon.
