We have a pet spider. I first noticed him on the TV screen the other night. I was too lazy to get up and smoosh him. And he is a daddy long legs. And I have heard daddy long legs are good spiders. So today, he was on Donald Duck while Ethan and I were watching the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse or whatever it’s called. I called to Shane who was in the kitchen and asked him to please remove the spider from Donald’s tail feathers. He attempted to do so only to find that the spider is inside the TV. He was crawling on the inside of the screen. He is stuck and we can’t get rid of him. Shane proceeded to flick at him until he crawled his way all the way up and we could no longer see him (Ethan stood and watched and I am sure will be flicking the TV tomorrow). Our TV is huge and was free. It is a hand-me-down and pretty old. I guess there is a lot of space in there and the spider is living it up. We thought we had a few cracks on the screen, but now we are pretty sure they are spider webs. I don’t know. It is kind of weird and annoying. At least it isn’t a fly. What is the life span of a daddy long legs?

How odd.
He has to come out for food, don’t you think? Unless all sorts of other creepy crawlies are in there, too, providing him with yummy meals.

When we were little, living in Chula Vista, we had a daddy long legs pet in our home. His name was John the Spider.
When we lived in Hawaii, we had a free roaming geko named Jose.He lived out in our patio.
