Snakes and Spiders

Whenever the wife sees a spider, she asks me to kill it. Whenever she sees a snake, even on television, she has a hard time even looking at it. And don’t get me started on her opinion of bats.

I personally like all three of these creatures. And here’s why: they all eat things that I don’t like. If I find a spider in the house, I go out of my way to put it outside where it can eat some flies. I don’t kill it. That would just mean more bugs around that, well, bug me.

How is the spider situation in your household? Anything you or your spouse just cannot stand?

    When Craig sees a spider in the house, he asks me to kill it. We have a lot of spiders here in MO, so that happens frequently. After I kill it, Craig cleans up the carcass.

    i don’t ask you to kill it. last time, i told you that there was a bug in the house. then you opened the door and we proceeded to sweep it outside.

    i don’t know why, but when i see a bug, i instantly say there’s a bug. i don’t like killing/moving the bug but i’ll do it. usually a few seconds after “there’s a bug” comes out of my mouth, i realize i could do something about it but it’s nice when somebody (you) does it for me.

    ps. sil2 on the other hand she flips out…it can be pretty comical.

    Last summer I had a really interesting experience. Bees were building a beehive outside my patio windows, and somehow they would get inside my apartment and get stuck. They’d die trying to get back out (constantly banging on the patio window), and I literally had dozens, maybe even a hundred, of dead bees on my floor before the exterminator finally came out.

    I still have no idea how in the world they got in.

    my hubbie likewise hates spiders and snakes…i am the designated killer of them. and they must be killed, according to him, otherwise there is a possibility they may try to eat him.

    Stevens! How dare you kill one of God’s creatures!!! You’re going to burn in Hell for eternity.
