Last week, I had to go have the brakes done on our van. We sat down. I knew it was going to take over an hour, so I asked Jeremy if he wanted to watch a cartoon. He told me no. I asked him if he was sure and I informed him that we'd be there for a while. This is what he said,

"No (while shaking his head) because the spider will have (whispering) hurt feelings."


He is so funny. He will frequently use a spider as an excuse for many things.

Me: "Jeremy, will you go get me a diaper from upstairs?"

Jeremy: "No, the spiders will get me."

Me: "Jeremy, how about an apple for snack?"

Jeremy: "No, the spiders don't like it."
___

There are many more. The spider having hurt feelings, because Jeremy watched a cartoon, takes the cake.

That's funny. Was there a particular spider that caused trauma at one point or is this just any spider in the great Portland area?

No trauma, just any spider in the great Portland area. It just cracks me up!

Sarah said...

Not at all. I don't know why he uses spiders, but hey, it works for him.

That is very original. I was really afraid of spiders growing up. I remember having a nightmare and wanting ot go into my parents room but there was a BIG spider in the way and it really scared me.

So today, I asked Jeremy to go get Tyler's blanket out of his car seat. He told me,

"mmm, no. The spidesrs got it."

Then he immediately went to go get it. When he got there he said,

"no spiders."

Then he picked it up and brought it to me. He is so silly.
