Spiders, spiders everywhere!

A comment left on a blog post I wrote recently had me thinking way too much about spiders especially since I locked the dead birthday vermin in the attic. So my recent top-of-mind discussion with Mister was really important.
Me: You know we are never more than 6 feet from a spider?
Mister: That’s untrue.
Me: It is 100% true. I’ll bet you.
Mister: Bet me?
Me: Ya, I’ll bet you that you are never more than 10 feet from a spider.
Mister: You said 6 feet.
Me: Did I? Ok, 6 feet, give or take 4 feet.
Mister: So what is the bet? 6 or 10 feet? How confident are you?
Me: 100% sure it is 6 feet.
Mister: Done. For bragging rights?
Me: …and for who kills the next 10 spiders.
Mister: Done.
..and Done. Truth hurts!

I’ll get you the tissues Mister. You are on spider patrol. At least you won’t have to move far 🙂
Somehow, clearing this up didn’t make me feel better about spiders falling on my head at night, which was not at all a fear until that post. Now I fear zombie raccoons AND spiders falling on my head at night. That’s healthy.
Hahaha. Love it! I think way too much about spiders too, and now you may have undone my self administered cure. Thanks alot!

Thanks for the inspiration 🙂
I have heard that fact about spiders too. I’ve also heard that we eat numerous spiders in our sleep over a lifetime. You’re welcome 🙂
DANA! Sorry to yell, but based on this new information, I am going to:
a) try and not look that up,
b) not be able to resist,
c) find out it is true and then,
d) I will cry for fear of never sleeping again.
Resist, resist, resist…
