i don't like spiders.
i have a pathetic amount of nightmares about spiders.
this is how i dealt with our first spider intruder of the year:
(those dorky books belong to my husband, by the way!.. my brave, spider-killing husband.)
we caught that dang spider at 10am, and the boys were given strict instructions to NOT touch the jar until dad got home (7 hours later).
i need our boys to learn to kill spiders for me.
but i also need them to learn that, although they don't need to fear spiders, they cannot play with them, keep them as pets, tease me with them, etc.
it's a fine line!
