My husband is a big tough guy...or at least he pretends to be. This morning he was laying on the couch enjoying a good book, when he jumped up shouting "Spider!" He jumped off the couch as fast as a my 7year old jumps up for dessert. He quickly grabbed a shoe and began smacking the pillow where he assumed it was hiding. But the furry little guy didn't show himself. My husband,with shoe held high, awaited his prey.
I saw what was happening and thought this stand-off would never end unless I came to his aid. Carefully, I peeled back the couch cushion, prepping myself for a giant arachnid to lunge at me. Nothing. The kids were all standing around us now, cheering us on. They had faith that we would protect them from the invader. I decided we had to make a drastic move. We had to pull the lever to release the foot rest. I grabbed the lever. The foot rest popped out and there he was. A tiny little black spider, no bigger than an ant, scrambled across the floor. I only had a second to feel bad for the little guy before my husband squashed him. I couldn't believe all that commotion for such a tiny creepy creature.
Have a great weekend!
