Spiders and Kids

I was tired, so I sent the kids into the bathroom by themselves to brush their teeth.

“Mommy!  Mommy!  Come here!  There’s a spider in the tub,” Rowan exclaimed.

These kids have eyes like eagles when it comes to spotting spiders.

“Leave it alone, you’ll be fine,” I yelled back, I really didn’t feel like getting out of bed yet.

Silence greeted me for a minute.

“He’s trying to get out of the tub,” Rowan said.

“Yeah, he’s name is Tim,” Jory informed his sisters.

“I don’t want Tim to leave,” the baby added.

“He’ll stay in the tub,” the oldest assured them.  “Mommy won’t make him go swimming in the ocean.”

Who know a spider in a tub could lead to a quiet toothbrushing morning.  I really hope they didn’t touch it.
