Morgan: I dreamed we were in Heaven.
Me: Really? What was it like?
We have a ton of house spiders in the basement. Our bedrooms are in the basement. It's gross. I hate them. They are big.
One night I was putting Morgan to bed. He happened to see a spider on the wall by his nightlight. He got close and investigated. Then he got a shoe to squash it. He got all poised to strike, but then he paused.
"Mommy, what kind of spider is this?"
"A wolf spider."
Morgan backed away quickly, screwed up his face in a giant pout, and, now close to tears, said, "But I'm afraid of wolf spiders!"
This is what they look like.
I killed the spider. The next night, I noticed there was another spider in almost the same spot. I used the same shoe to kill that one. The next night, after Morgan was in bed, the light was off, I was out of his room, he called to me and told me that there was another spider by his night light. Yeah right. He insisted. I went in to show him that he was wrong, but there was another spider there. It was even bigger than the last two. He joined their fate.

I lived in the basement and hate, hate, hate those spiders. My sisters and I hated cleaning them up too, we were immature. So we squashed them with a shoe and left the shoe there so we didn't have to see the squished spider. There were shoes everywhere.
GAAAH! No good spiders!
