Not my best moment!

I was helping Xander with something when I hear Grace and Greta talking. Greta was saying, "No Grace!!! He'll bite you!" That caught my attention so I looked over and Grace was carefully carrying a tissue. She said, "Look! I got a spider!" Greta is going,"NOOOOOOO!" and staying a safe distance away. I took the tissue from her. I thought she maybe had a little spider in her tissue. No. She had a big, live, hairy, creepy spider in there! Sorry, no pictures this time!! I dropped the tissue before the big hairy spider could crawl up my arm, screamed, "No, he'll bite!!" and ran back a safe distance with Greta!!! Grace, was convinced by now that maybe we were right, so she screamed and ran back by us. The rest of the story involves, a shoe, the tissue, and the trash. Grace was not sad to see the spider go or anything....but still....I maybe could have encouraged her more with the spider instead of freaking out like a baby! LOL!

Ahhh perfect opportunity lost...you had a built in spider collector right there in Grace...she probably could have been talked into releasing it out front where there would be more spider food for it....alas...now you have successfully indoctrinated her! But, I don't blame you for it...you really weren't expecting to find a wolf spider in your baby's hand!

Spider collector???!!! Blech! No, thanks! It's shoe vs. spider for me, too.

its all good I'd have screamed too...but difference is I probably would have been to sissy to kill it myself with a shoe. i'd have cornered it and waited till Eric got home or told her to get it! LOL Deathly scared of spiders here.
