Funnily enough, Ian and I were just comparing the size of US vs. British spiders yesterday. I got out of the shower this morning and picked up my clothes from the floor. Big fecking spider crawls out!
I looked at the spider, wondering WTF I was going to do next. 🙂 I moved… the spider RAN! FAST! I said, “HOLY SHIT!” and TLK came running in from her room to see what was going on.
The spider ran under the weight scale. I said calmly to her, “Don’t come in here. There is a large spider. Go get a book. ANY book!”. So she gets the copy of “How to Win Friends and Influence People”. We are clearly not about to win a new friend at this point.
I got in the tub because I figure that spider is not going to quickly run into the tub (irrational, I know). I used something (I don’t recall what) to move the scale to coax the spider out. He sat there like, “Ok, just do it.” and I smashed him with the book. Mind you.. .I didn’t just drop the book. I winged it at him!
THEN.. I threw the book away!
LMAO!
Later, TLK said, “Mom? You used the ‘s’ word…” Me: “I know, honey. I lost my head.” 🙂
