It was a HUGE spider, but I wouldn't let the girls kill it (or get Daddy to kill it for them) because my theory is that spiders kill all the other bugs that are far more of a nuisance. <BR/><BR/>But they just could not get used to the spider, and it did have a rather nasty habit of sneaking out and scurrying across the wall at the most unexpected times!<BR/><BR/>Then one day, I saw it over by the computer - and it had only five legs. Having already developed a modicum of respect for the ugly creature, this knowledge activated all my latent compassion. And when I told my girls, complete with 'poor little spidey' voice, they too, had their hearts touched, and from then on, we all cheered on 'our' spider.<BR/><BR/>The tale has a rather messy end, I'm afraid. Someone forgot to tell Daddy that old Spidey was now the household pet. At least, I HOPE it was him who squished the poor blighter in the back door, and not myself inadvertently while hanging the washing. <BR/><BR/>Alas poor spidey, I knew him well. <BR/><BR/>R.I.P.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17321189743948194204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10491385.post-57091367383447081272008-11-26T23:36:00.000+09:002008-11-26T23:36:00.000+09:00Your answers are really different from mine!
