passed on spider — I really didn’t really want to do it, but a poisonous spider the size of my hand crawling down the wall over Jerry’s bed (while he was in it) was just too much for both of us. Even though I’m sure mothers have been killing spiders who stray to close to their kids with kitchen utensils for thousands of years — I still don’t feel good about it.
