My kids are scared of spiders and every time one runs its little self across the floor you would think that someone had threatened their lives.
So to prove a point that spiders are harmless (so to speak) I picked one up and popped it in my mouth.
This led to a lot of screaming by the kids.
I laughed and accidentally swallowed the spider, this made me laugh even more.
I could feel something in my mouth and as I put my fingers in my mouth I pulled out this one hairy leg of that spider.
My kids are still scared of spiders and they now think that Daddy is nuts (well more nuts than before)This hits close to home @johleen.
What I learned from my experience.
- don't eat spiders, they taste bad and they leave a leg behind
- don't do it in front of the kids, as they will not let it rest that you ate a spider.
- Probably don't tell people on social media that you have done this as everyone will go - that is disgusting I'm phoning PDSA for animal cruelty.
Nice blog post @johleen glad to see that you're back doing quality posts :)
HAhahaha!!!! Oh my god I can't believe you did that!!!
Well, props to you for taking massive action to prove that spiders aren't actually scary, even if it didn't work! You'd be fine on one of those shows where they have to eat weird bits of animals and lie down in tanks full of insects haha.
