Today I was eating cereal in the kitchen when Marshall looked at me and said, “You have a spider in your hair.” That was alarming. “It’s pretty big,” he added.
I forced myself to remain calm. “Could you please remove it?” I asked.
My husband came into the room at that moment and, quickly realizing what the problem was, took the spider out of my hair. Then he showed it to me. It was pretty big.
If you’re wondering how I managed to stay calm, it’s because I’m allergic to insect stings and consequently I’ve taught myself to remain motionless when a bee or wasp lands on me. That skill translates to spiders to some degree. But if it had skittered onto my face, OMG, I would have freaked!
