Yeah, that's what I thought....

While I was taking clothes out of the dryer, J came in and hugged me....causing me to jump out of my skin.

Me: don't DO that! I'm already wearing my 'fraidy pants in here as it is
J:*laughing* the spider isn't going to hurt you. spiders are smart and really cool. he has a nest back here and is eating bugs. He's pretty cool looking
Me: is he dead?
J: no
Me: then he's not "cool looking"
J: *grabbing me by the shoulders* you need to go see someone about your spider problem
Me: I don't have a spider problem, I have a "spiders crawling out of clothes that are in my arms" problem!
J: *laughing*
Me: I'm sorry but I think yesterday's episode set me back about 10-15 years in overcoming my fear of those wretched things
J: you're like a straight man in a club, thinking all of the gay men are going to hit on you. the spiders aren't that interested in you.
Me: *glares* hey...I'm getting better. I've let the grass spiders live, around the house and for pete's sake there's a brown recluse in my cardboard box of tapes in sunroom (great place for tapes, I know, right?) and I haven't smooshed it....yet
John: that's his house. he needs a house.
Me: yea well....he's gonna get evicted (I find it interesting that every spider I see is a "he") by the way,can you get the towels out of that basket and put them in the wash for me?
John: *blank look*
Me: I don't feel comfortable picking up piles of laundry right now
J: *laughing* I think we should get a pet spider...a tarantula. I think this would help you with your problem.
Me: you can get a pet spider if I can get a pet snake............yeah, that's what I thought.
