One time when my family came home from vacation (I was about 11 or 12) Our refrigerator was covered with baby spiders...I remember opening and closing it, and then looking at my hand / arm..... omg COVERED in baby spiders.
I have heard that no person is ever more than 8 feet away from a spider.
Why is everyone including me so afraid of spiders?
One time, in the town of Payson, AZ, I saw a BIG ASSED spider up high on a wall where we lived, as I was putting my kids to bed.
I saw it and figured, well, it will do its thing and move off.
It was huge and hairy. When I went up to bed, it occurred to me to make sure it was not around when I checked on them, but, NO SUCH LUCK. It was ON THE PILLOWS next to my sleeping 5 year old son. This means it had traveled down the ceiling, down the wall, seemingly was intending to bite my child. ...or at least invade his sleeping space.
I picked up another pillow, raised it over my head, and brought it down on the spider with all of the force I could muster.
It died. I am not an advocate of killing anything that is alive, but when it blatantly gets near my children, it has to die.
Later that summer, we dealt with a wayward tarantula, which apparently had intentions of coming into the house...it crawled up the porch stairs, and up the front screen door.
Even later that summer, my daughter was stung by a scorpion which had been hiding in her shoe as she was getting ready for school.
The desert is chock full of stinging / biting vermin.
I would show my son that I work for but he would freak. His new wife has a pet tarantula but its at her moms house. He is even freakier about it then me if there is such a thing.. ewwwwwwwwwwwwww.. *slaps leg so hard it leaves an imprint*
