Near Death Experince

Yesterday, I had just finished taking a nice hot relaxing bath, when my world almost ended. I was grabbing the towel to wrap around me when I noticed a big black spot on the towel. I pulled it back to have a better look at it and the spot was moving! I screamed and threw the towel and spider into the corner. My bathroom isn't very big, so throwing the towel in the corner is also throwing it in front of the door. I stood in the bathtub trapped. I grabbed my phone (yes, I had my phone in the bathroom. I try to bring it in with me when Kenny isn't home in case I fall and crack my head open. I might have a few seconds before I black out) called Kenny. He was still in class. I realized that I couldn't stand there all day waiting for that creature to come out of the towel to get me. I stood in the tub building up my courage. Finally, I jumped out of the tub, threw open the door and ran into the bedroom screaming at the top of my lungs the whole time. The rest of the day I kept checking down the hall to see if it was coming after me. I wouldn't walk back to the bedroom without shoes on. Six hours later Kenny came home. Surprisingly, enough the spider was still in the towel and I was saved! Though now I am on the constant look out for another one. Kenny says I'm being too paranoid about it. But is there really too paranoid when it comes to spiders? I almost put a spider onto my body. I would have wrapped it up right next to my skin! It would have crawled all over me. Who knows how many bites I would have received? I could be dead right now.

  1. Uh...huh. Good to know that your paranoia and arachnophobia is still nicely intact.

  6. Spiders have feelings too! They just want to be friends.

  7. That's pretty funny, Megan. I admit though that if the spider's big enough, I react exactly the same way. I always make James get just about everything. I tell him, "Why do you think I married an entomologist?!" :)
