When we were kids, momma told us to never drink out of the garden hose until you let the water run, because spiders crawl into the hose and you will get a spider in your mouth....needless to say, I NEVER drank out of a hose until the water ran awhile....and NEVER, NOT ONE TIME, IN 50 YEARS DID A SPIDER COME WASHING OUT! THEN....one day, about 5 years ago, my son and I were doing yard work, and we turned the hose on to get a drink of water....I had already told him what mom had always told me....he didnt put much faith in that, but as we stood there, letting the water run, OUT CAME A HUGE SPIDER, HUGE BROWN GRASS SPIDER, WITH MILLIONS OF BABIES ALL OVER HER ABDOMEN!!!!! OMG!!!! I threw the hose and bolted! Finally, after 58 years, it had FINALLY happened!!! Thank God I had listened to my mother all these years!!! Can you imagine getting THAT in your mouth???????? EWWWWWWWWWWWWW!! |
