AMJ Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I just managed to April Fool myself. I have always been a bit afraid of spiders, but I'm quite proud of how far I've come. Most of the time I catch them and release them, and I teach the kids to also not kill them needlessly. Today I was working in the garage, trying to empty some boxes of stuff that had accumulated (old papers, toys, what have you). I turned around to see a HUGE spider right next to my foot. Yup, white mammas CAN jump. Clear across the garage bay. Turns out I still don't do so well when they take me by surprise at close proximity. Just when I was wondering how to catch the dang thing I realized.... It was one of the kids' plastic spiders, that had fallen out of a box. STRAIGHT into the donation box! Let some unwitting thrift store employee have the fun. *shudder* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jen3kids Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 My mom tried to pick up one of those 'plastic' spiders and got bitten by a wolf spider. Her entire finger swelled up like a sausage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
