When my Mom reads this, she’ll say, “What were you doing to my baby!”  Sometimes she is more protective of my kids than I am, but on this one, she might be right to judge.

I bought these nasty looking tarantula spider decorations for Halloween.  They’re gross and very realistic.  (Here’s the bad Mommy part:) I thought it might be funny to see how my almost 3 year old reacted to seeing the plastic spider sitting on the floor in our kitchen.

Well, let’s just say that he didn’t want to be friends with Ms. Spider.  He wouldn’t go near the thing and I have to admit, I kind of chuckled to myself.

Not more than a few hours later, karma came knocking on my door.  Actually, it was more like Karma came scampering through my bedroom!  I found a very large centipede taking a little jog in my room and of course I freaked out!  I got goose bumps (and a shoe) and called my husband at work.

Moral of the story… don’t mess with the buggos.
