For a couple of weeks, Mary has been running up to me all in an upset, saying, "Spider in mouth! Spider in mouth!"You can imagine that I was pretty distressed hearing such a thing.
It took me a while to figure out what on earth was going on because I didn't see any spiders in her mouth. It turns out that it is her hair, which is now long enough that it flies into her face and gets caught in her mouth. She hasn't yet figured out how to pull her hair out of her mouth, and it must feel like the sensation of spiders (a pretty brilliant concept, I think), so she comes shrieking to me for help.
I'm just glad that she's not eating spiders, let me tell you.
That picture gives me the creeps. Now I feel like there are spiders crawling on me. Ew!!!
ReplyDeleteI also am glad she's not eating spiders! :)
Oh my goodness...how funny! What a creative way to describe a problem!
