Spiders & My Husband

Tonight I had another spider episode.  Pardon my french, but it was a big-ass spider on my bedroom wall and will be know for the rest of this post as BAS.  I screamed for Leo a-la Simpson style (open mouth, wiggling tongue) to take care of his wedding day vowed duty.  


Fortunately my hubs is not scared of spiders, yet never seems to be in a big rush to get to them.  I don't think he realizes just how quickly they move and disappear into the dark shadowy depths behind dressers and beds.  Nor does he realize how I am the one tormented by them when they give him the slip.  Ick.  


So here's the story after the house alert went out...
Leo gets up on a step stool with tissues to smoosh the BAS.  I decide to run to another room because he finds it funny to torment me by putting the spider guts in my face to prove he got it and I don't really want to see BAS innards.  I yell over my shoulder to just put BAS in the toilet and flush it.  After a minute and hearing no flush I go to check out the crime scene.  


Me: Well, did you get it?
Leo: Do you want the good news or the bad news?
Me: The good news.
Leo: I got the spider.
Me: So what's the bad news?
Leo: I didn't get all of it.
Me: What?
Leo: Well, I squished it and in then when I checked the tissue all that was there were legs.  I don't know where the body went.  I looked around for the rest of it, but didn't see where it fell.


GROSS!  And of course I find BAS body the second I walk into the room.  I'd post a pic, but really who wants to see that carnage.  Anyways, at least I don't have to worry about any spiders tonight, hopefully.

I am right there with you!!! I hate spiders so much, i'm too scared to even get close enough to kill them because i'm afraid they will jump at me and squishing them is gross. Roger kills all spiders and hr takes his sweet time getting a tissue and getting it done no matter how URGENT I encourage him to be!!!
