This morning when I got in the shower, I saw a spider on the shower curtain. I’m not typically afraid of spiders, but there’s something about being trapped in a shower, sans clothes, with a spider. It’s a little disheartening.
I quickly started making a cup with my hands to catch water and throw on the spider. After a few tosses, the spider lost is ability to hold on and washed right down the drain.
End of story? NO!
I could not enjoy the rest of my shower because I kept worrying that it would come back out of the drain. Yes, I KNOW that it couldn’t, but that doesn’t stop me from thinking it. I even tilted the shower head higher than normal so that I wouldn’t be standing as close to the drain!
Does anyone else do that?
Any time I flush a bug or wash it down the drain, I always feel like it is going to come back somehow. Again, I know that it can’t, but for some reason, I always feel like it can. Is that crazy?!
Before I hear comments from the parental units, I know that my spider experience in no way compares to the tarantulas that you have seen in Central America. Dad, your tarantula in the shower story DEFINITELY trumps my current spider story, but who can compete with a story like that?!
For sure, that story trumps yours, but truthfully ANY spider, large or small, should NOT find ANY place NEAR my shower!!! Remember the song, "Itsy bitsy spider went UP the..." I think of that when I wash one down the drain...haha...like mother, like daughter!! love you!
ReplyDeleteYou can always do with your critters what I did with the tarantula in my shower. I had a Sunday School lesson with him with the heel of my bedroom shoe! I have lots of room for many things in my life, but spider-type things are not one of them. Dad
