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!! |
I had the shivering goosebumps after reading this story.
We have black widows here. I take a flashlight around the backyard at night every so often and kill any I see.
I've noticed lately that the heat has brought out the regular kind in the the house lately. I watched my husband climb on a stool 2 nights ago to hit one on the ceiling...it fell, who knows where and hubby got hurt in the process...I was laughing so hard, trying not to laugh because he got hurt, and then laughing some more.
