Oops

On Friday Greyson and Quinn and I stopped in a little toy store in Franklin to kill some time before the football game. We were in the plastic miniature animal section when Quinn noticed a spider on the floor and ran to me screaming. Assuming that it was just a plastic spider that had fallen off of the shelves I went to do the nice thing and put it back. I was seconds from picking it up when this old man screamed at me to stop. I stared at him with this blank look as he came over and very forcefully stomped the thing dead.

He then kindly informed me that I was about to pick up a brown recluse spider. Yeah, that probably wouldn't have been the smartest move I had ever made. So next time I think I will stomp first and see whether it is plastic second.
