Getting into the shower this morning I saw a fuzzy black blob by the ceiling. I grabbed my glasses for a closer inspection and it was a SPIDER!!!! AHHHH!!! Lloyd has a spider bite from a few days ago and I bet this is the villain. Look at her swollen belly – filled with Lloyd’s old blood and probably hundreds of tiny spider/Lloyd hybrid babies. It’s tough to wash your hair when your head is fixed so your eyes stay fixed in one spot.
Even though I dislike spiders, I don’t think they should die – even though this one is an obvious peeping tom. (Tomette? Tometto? Tomahto? Too far, huh?) Lloyd deftly caught it in my toothbrush holder and took ‘er outside.
By the way, when you’ve showered with a spider, for the whole rest of the day every little dark speck you see will startle you.
Gah! Lint!

This makes me think of a book I frequently read as a kid. Did we own it? We must have, for how often I read it.
It was called “Be Nice to Spiders”

Brad says
Wait a minute… I was looking at that picture and comparing Lloyd’s finger to the spider. It looks to be one fourth the size of his fingernail. It’s TINY.
Lauren says
You are mistaken. It is as big as a cat and has flaming red eyes and huge fangs.
Christina says
I was looking at the size of Lloyd’s nose….
Lloyd says
It’s not my nose. It’s a false one.
CousinSam says
Will you decontaminate your toothbrush holder or trash it?
Lauren says
We’ll see how the hybrid babies turn out. If cute -- decontaminate.
Peggy says
Oh Lauren…you are the brave one! I could never have taken a shower with that hairy thing in there! (the spider I mean)
Peggy says
Hey, where’d my comment go?
Amy says
I turned on a light in my bathroom and there was a CENTIPEDE as big as my PINKEY next to my HAND……
GAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA
*DIES*

Lauren says
How are you alive to write this????
Amy says
I don’t know *cries*
My brother-in-law came up and squished it… but he left the body on the floor.. minus the legs… *jiblies*
*hides*
