Force Field Spider

This is a story from four years ago. Sometimes life with teens is richly rewarding in deeply peculiar ways. I miss my girls at the same time I am SO proud of them for being independent.

So the story behind the spider in its personal forcefield I was told as I’m getting up one morning. The First Reader got up first, and went out of our room to find a very excited teenager in a towel and pyjamas, telling him that she’d discovered a spider in the shower!

She screamed! her brother put in.

But then, because she knew Mama might want to take pictures, she caught it and put it on the table πŸ˜€ and she thoughtfully provided the eight -legged fiend with an observation dome in the shape of a beaker we use as a drinking glass.

LOL! I love my family. This was far from the only time we have a strange story involving the kids helpfully providing me with invertebrate photographic models.

    Brother putting a spider into the shower?

    Never happened in my family.

    Now picking up a grasshopper by its hind-legs and showing it to Baby Sis? 😈

    Did you know that a grasshopper that has eaten tomato leaves looks like it is chewing tobacco? 😈

    1. That’s a defense mechanism! Nobody like chewing tobacco πŸ€ͺ
