I HATE HATE HATE SPIDERS WITH A PASSION. When I see one my whole body shutters and I feel like they are crawling all over me. Growing up Lindsey and I would put a cup over them and then my dad would kill it when he saw the cup. After I got married I had to teach Ransom the cup system. Once Conrad started moving around that put an end to the cup. When I feel really brave I kill it (I've done that maybe 3 times!) or I just let it keep crawling. I know the second option is gross and I think about the spider for weeks after, but I just can't bring myself to get close to the spider.
Today when I saw a spider I tried convincing Ransom to come home from work. When that didn't work I gave Conrad a tissue and told him to squish it. He thought it was much more fun to pretend to shoot it or throw the tissue at it so I was brave and squished it so I could show him how it's done. I'm hoping he can learn to get rid of them for me soon!

You really are scared of spiders! I feel the same way about snakes. They're pretty cool to boys.. Conrad will get 'em for you!
I never raised you to kill them. You are supposed to gently take them outside, back to their world :)
Be kind... you never know what will be crawling over you at night time...
