Spiderman, Spiderman

Me: Argh! Ahhhhhh! Ugh!
C: What Mom????
Me: C - hurry and run to the bathroom and get some toilet paper. A huge spider is crawling around on the living room floor. HURRY!
C: Okay Mom!

She comes back like 15 seconds later with ONE square of toilet paper. Just one. This spider is gigantic.

Me: Dude! Go get more toilet paper! This isn't enough! Hurry, hurry!
C: Stop being a baby and just squish it.
Me: What?????
C: STOP BEING A BABY AND SQUISH THE SPIDER!
Me: I need more toilet paper or I'll feel it smoosh in between my fingers . . .
C: Mom - just do it!

So there you have it. My 3 year old is telling me to man up and squish the biggest spider i've ever seen (it looked just like this) with one tiny square of toilet paper. So I did. And yes, I felt it squish between my fingers and yes, I felt all the guts explode. And yes, I pretended like everything was totally cool so C didn't see me totally spasticate. I went directly to the kitchen sink and washed/scrubbed/exfoliated my hands for the next 10 minutes.

I'm still LOL at the thought of your daughter telling you to man up! hehe...

When that type of stuff happens, I just put a cup over it and let Ben deal with it when he gets home.

I'm a sissy.

next time, tell her to do it. I am too wimpy to get it with a little square. Maybe a shoe...

Don't mess with C! She will be her own protector, I can see it now.
