Mighty-Mommy Tackles the Beastie as Reported by Juneau

I heard mommy on the phone with daddy when she came home to let Cosi & me out at lunchtime. She told him that when she got to the back door to come in there was a huge web from the siding to the frame of the back door & down to our grill which is kept right outside the back door. A big thick hairy colorful spider was on the web & skidaddled into the siding near the door frame. Mommy went on to tell daddy that she picked up one of Joshua’s tools, a rubber mallet, & using it got rid of the web. After leaving us outside in the side run, she went to look for bug spray. Of course when she needed it, it wasn’t under the sink! So mommy went & got her hairspray & went outside to tackle the ‘hairy beastie!’ She sprayed the hairspray in the crack of the siding & the spider came out like it was drunk. She used more hairspray on the thingee & then hit it with the rubber mallet. That unwelcomed spider never had a chance!!! I would’ve protected mommy from the spider thingee. I like to chase & eat bugs. They don’t have much of a taste though. She probably wouldn’t have let me at it cuz she always worries when I put sumthing other than food, my toys, or Cosi (when I wrestle & play wif him) in my mouth. Nope, her next job won’t be a buggy killer cuz she usually screams for daddy or Josh to kill them.
