Along Came A Spider

Charlotte's Second Cousin Twice Removed, Waiting for Lunch

I woke up suddenly the other morning, with what I can only describe as the very odd feeling that someone – someone quite small with many many legs – was dancing on my closed eyelid.

Someone was.

An eight-legged someone.

Have I mentioned, Oh Best Beloved, that I’m rather put off by anyone doing an eight-legged tap dancing routine on my face, particularly if the dancer happens to be a sharp-fanged spider? With apologies to Charlotte, I am not overly fond of sharing my immediate body zone with arachnids.

I was, however, quite calm and collected.

*ahem*

Ok. I wasn’t.

aaaaaiiiiiiEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

*fling…. squash*

Final Score: Spider – 1. Me – 1.

Game over.

Ugh!

    UGH is right!

    Glad it didn’t bite you.

    Just the thought of having a spider bite me on the eye has left me pondering the virtues of wearing swim goggles at night!!

    All you can do is
    Thank God he made the harmless spiders
    So it’s not always a brown recluse
    under your bed,
    between your sheets,
    or sitting on your eye!

    I once woke up to find a spider crawling on my arm; it has reached the crook of my elbow and, in my sleep, I kept bending my elbow thinking I had an itch – and it kept biting me until I woke up. Don’t know who was more annoyed – it or me.

    Oh yeah – it lost.
