How the #&BLEEP@* did he get in??

So, I was out for dinner with the girls last night. On the ride home, I had a terrifying experience. Not "someone's-in-my-house-with-a-hook-for-a-hand" terrifying, or "watching-the-ground-split-and-my-family's-on-the-other-side" terrifying. More like "first-ever-interview-for-a-really-important-job" terrifying. I was driving home late at night, when in the back window, I saw a tarantula!!! I didn't know if he was inside the car or outside, but I was thoroughly freaked. I kept telling myself "ok, he's outside, I was parked under a tree, he's just catching a lift across town". When I got home (in record time, luckily no speed traps on the way) I raced inside and got my manly brave husband to "take care of" our friend. Turns out he was indeed in the car. A huntsman spider. My first encounter. Now, huntsman spiders are not dangerous, but I live in a country with the most deadly spiders on Earth. He could have been a martial arts expert. Sporting a gun. Maybe an expert swordsman. I was wired when I got home. I mean, how did the scary beast even get in my car???? I even made RJ check the door to make sure it was locked. Otherwise, he could have slicked his way into our house!



Spider: Knock. Knock.

Me: Who is it?


Spider: Candygram.

Me: Candygram? For who?

Spider: Um, Flowers, ma'am.

Me: Hey, you're that clever spider. Go away!

Spider: Plumber.

Me: Better scram before I call the police. You're a spider that wants to eat me, I'm not letting you in.


Spider: I'm just a ladybug ma'am.

Me: Oh, well, ok then. Come on in.

Are you sure you're not in a James Bond Movie? The good guys are always getting "off'd" by scary spiders. Did you see a cameraman in the back seat?

The spider would have freaked me out more than some strange cameraman in my back seat. I mean, COME ON, did you SEE that spider picture? I shiver when I think of him. Andrea
