Last night the kids wouldn't get out of the bath. Dave asked nicely, threatened and then turned to desperate measures. He threw a spider in the bath tub. Clare went into hysterics and dove out of the bath, then the spider floated by Alexey and she started crying "spider" "spider" (a new word for her) and she jumped out. Calvin hopped right out also. The crying from Clare and Alexey lasted about 5 minutes.
Dave didn't know Alexey would be scared...he felt bad about making her so sad.
this is not the spider but one I took off the internet that looks just like the one dave tossed in!
Before the kids would completely calm down they had to watch dave throw the spider in the toilet and flush it down!
