I am very brave, so I am
May. 2nd, 2008 09:43 pmI was standing in the kitchen doorway, when simultaneously, I heard the boys' bedroom door open and felt something fluttery on my arm. I shook my arm. It was still there. I shook it again, and a GREAT BIG HUGE SPIDER fell off it onto the floor. Barbara backed away looking terrified. The boys ran halfway up the stairs. And I calmly and collectedly went to the hall cupboard to get the spider catcher,* caught the spider on the third attempt, and took it and shook it outside the front door.
I'm sure I'll find my case of the hysterics somewhere soon. But I'm very glad it wasn't to hand at the time....
*which I bought Bill as a joke xmas present and have since discovered that it's actually bloody useful!
