Unless your child gets a spider bite because you are the worst parent in the wold...
Then, of course, what happens in Norfolk gets posted on the internet for all the world to see...
Addison somehow caught this huge spider without my knowledge. Guess thats proof I wasn't paying enough attention. Spider in hand she walks up to me as I am changing Aiden's diaper. I ask what she has and she squeals
"LOOOKIE!"
She was soooooooo thrilled with this capture.
(I thought girls were suppose to be scared of spiders?!?! Clearly, Addison has to be different. Why would I ever expect her to be like all the other girls.)
She opens her hands to reveal the monster to me. I was not at all expecting it to be a spider. Not even in my wildest dreams would She be playing with a spider. I screamed. As an NORMAL person would. The spider deemed this to be the perfect time to escape. Addison squeezes her little hands closed to prevent the escape and gets a stellar bite in the process. Now if you have ever met a baby you know what happened next. Since the spider caused pain she no longer wanted it. She tossed it into the air and began squealing. I doused the little sucker in hairspray and captured it in an old jar I had found under the sink. I know nothing about spiders. Nothing except that this spider looks enough like a brown recluse to make me afraid for my now bitten child.
Off to the doctor we went...
As it turns out this spider is not a recluse. What is it? Well when I asked the doctor he said
"Well this is what you get when you mix and elephant and a rhino."
Think you sir, for trying to lighten the situation with your humor. I still find it to be less that funny. Considerably less.
What a day!
