Eeek!

I was walking barefoot through my laundry room when I happened across the biggest, scariest spider ever. I don't generally consider myself afraid of spiders but I don't like to almost accidentally step on big ugly ones in my house!

So, like a normal adult female I jumped up and down screaming and got Jerry to kill it.

After he beat it to death and scooped it onto a plate we realized with some surprise that it was plastic. It seems a certain three year old (for reasons I cannot explain since she is afraid of bugs) requested this toy during a recent trip to Chuckie Cheese. Never a dull moment around here these days!

Looks real doesn't it?

Oh my goodness I would have freaked too!! I have a serious fear of spiders and that would have definitely scared the you know what out of me!!
People have tried to play jokes on my with fake spiders too. I don't usually find it very funny, at the time anyways!!

My daughter has a fear of spiders, and we had a plastic one about 3 inches across that for a while became a game of 'hide the spider' to see if we could make someone jump. After a little while of this, everyone became less jumpy when they came upon a huge spider!

OMG, I would have done the exact same thing!!! One of my biggest struggles in living by myself is having to dispose of spiders....

I am spider phobic with the best of them. That thing would have given me ANOTHER heard condition!!!

But funny in hindsight.

LOL, thats soo funny. It reminds me of the time the trash men came by. The knocked on my neighbors door and asked for a shovel. They said the had to kill a snake, it was a cobra. ( cobra dont normally live here) It was tooo funny. It was one of the kids rubber snakes that was left in the grass. It was in that sitting up position. Another funny momment. LOL
