You know how people say everything in Texas is BIGGER? It's true. Even the spiders. Let us tell you a story....
Luke and Ellie were playing peacefully in our front "yard."
When suddenly, {intense music crescendo} enter...the Tarantula.
See the bricks, those are normal-sized bricks. And that behemoth is 2 feet from our front door!
So Luke and I put on our battle helmets and warrior gear.
And we (I) beat it to a pulp. Yes, those are guts spilled out on the ground.
Goodbye hairy beast!!!
I googled Texas Tarantula and it's for real. When I told Jeannette that they make good house pets because they eat beetles and cockroaches, she replied, "But they will also eat our children!" So we exterminated it.
Nice. Way to use this as a moment for your boy to be a hero.
ReplyDeleteThis just made my day, thanks for the great story of triumph! Jeannette, that's exactly what I was thinking:)
