packrat said:haha Thanks! Yeah, he got the water. We finally got a Culligan under the sink deal, so no more worries. When I was pg w/London he used to call every day to see what I wanted for lunch, so once I drew a stick figure w/a big belly and a little tiny stick figure inside and the tiny one was saying "Daddy, Mommy is hungry for" whatever it was I wanted. I wish I'd saved that one.
One time there was a big (and for real I mean BIG) corn spider (ahem, brown recluse) that had a web at the bottom of our front door. When *I* am forced to kill big spiders like that I freak out and make weird gurgling noises and hop around and screech. I felt as my husband *he* should do it. "Yeah, I'll do it in a minute" turned into a couple weeks of it still being there and me making flying leaps into and out of the house like I was doing the long jump (and I was 6 months pregnant so I'm sure that was interesting for people to see). One day at work I typed up a letter to JD from Mr. Brown Recluse. It was like, "Hi, thought I'd introduce myself, I'm your new neighbor. Only been in the area a couple weeks but so far I'm really liking the neighborhood. Most people freak out when they see me, but you, you're different. I've heard your wife talking (I'm not eavesdropping, it's just we're in such close quarters I can't help but overhear) and I know she doesn't like me at all. I wish she'd give me a chance. I was thinking, maybe sometime you and I could go out and you could show me the town." That's not it exactly, but pretty close. Anyway, we had a great laugh over it-and still wish we'd kept it, 7 years later.
And yet, he *still* didn't kill it. I had to call my Uncle bawling hysterically b/c it got in the house.
