My sister-in-law-to-be once posted on her blog about her fear of spiders so I thought I'd do the same. I don't really know why, well I kinda do, but I am petrified of spiders. No I am not afraid of most other bugs, but if they're big, why would I not be afraid of them. Just saying. But spiders are another story. I hate them! They're so ugly and big, well most of the time.
Every summer, I spend some time in Tennessee where they have a lot spiders. The first two days are very hard. My aunt lives on a lake with spiders everywhere. Thankfully many of these are small and easy to deal with after I am used to them. But there are some big ones. You can tell the size of the spider by the size of the scream. I can scream very loud when they're very large, but when they're small, I kinda screech. It's really funny. One time there was a spider that was probably two inches long and you could hear me scream three houses away ( that's just a guess). I wouldn't go near the dock for at least a few hours, which is a long time.
I think this very irrational fear came from when I was little. I live in New Mexico and we have Black Widows, which are just creepy for they're own reasons. I mean how could you eat your husband. Well anyways, in our backyard we this wheelbarrow, In the wheelbarrow a black widow colony decided to build their nest. There must have been hundreds of black widows. I still remember this memory very vividly. That's probably why I'm scared of spiders.
Yuck. If only they didn't look so disgusting!
