Close Encounter of the Spider Kind
May. 4th, 2010 10:10 pmWhen confronted with a bunch of baby animals, a human being's usual reaction is "Awwww....."
When confronted with a nest of wriggling, clambering baby spiders hanging from one's bedroom curtains, an arachnophobe's reaction is "Fuuuuuuu.......ck"
I removed them carefully, so as not to drop any, and deposited them in the loo. I'm sorry, but ... fuuuuuu.........ck. This was not mere ick, or slight revulsion, this was full-on "OMG I think I'm going to throw up".
I just hope that Mama Spider has legged it out of the window again - careful examination of the curtains with the help of a broom discovered no further evidence of spiders - but I still have the feeling I'd rather be sleeping in the living room tonight. Or with the light on. Or both. Ratio has left the building.
