The Spider’s Statement

“First off, I didn’t touch the kid, I don’t do that kind of thing, I didn’t even know she’d be there.

Here’s how it went, see, I was minding my own business, she plops down with a bowl of what smelled like sour milk and scared me. I recovered and was getting ready to slink off to another room when suddenly she let out a shriek that could have shattered glass.

Well, I totally freaked at that point, she jumped up, dropped the bowl, the spoon launched itself and when I finally pulled myself together a woman was chasing after me with a broom and dust pan.

Next thing I know, here I am.

That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it.”
