He kills huge spiders for me. Spiders that are this ____________ wide and ______________________ long and just the torso is this _________ big and round.

I was walking up to our gate from the backyard, and from the corner of my eye, I saw something black fall down from the ledge on the wall to my left and it disappeared behind the gate. So I thought…um….was that a slowly falling leaf? I shrugged it off and I stuck my hand through one of the holes in the gate to lift up the latch, and slowly opened the gate a crack, to find a HUGE black spider!!!

It was probably a black widow but I didn’t have time to ask her.

In accordance with acceptible reactions to spiders, I freaked out, yelled, ran my hands all over my body and gave myself the heebie jeebies.

And then I ran to my daddy.“eeeeEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeee”

My mom gave him a paper towel and in bewilderment, I said, “This isn’t the kind of spider you can just smoosh with a hand and paper!”

By the time I showed him the monster, the spider had crawled too high for my daddy, so he used a broom and smacked it. The monstrosity fell down and its last sight was the shadow of my dad’s sandal.

The end.
