I Have Spiders In My Brain

Take her to a friendly exterminator who can check her for infestation....

OMG! What if the spiders lay eggs?

I will be monitoring this thread very carefully.

Get a flashlight and take her in a dark room. Shine the light in her ear and have her count or recite nursery rhymes or sing her favorite song.

Announce, "No bugs. If there were bugs they would have come out of your scary dark ear and danced in the light. No bugs."

This also works if you do get a gnat in your ear.

Good luck.

Dangle a nice, juicy fly next to her ear....

Good thoughts Noddy. Next time (which will probably be tonight after she talks with Timmy again), I will use the flashlight therapy. But I cannot believe that she thinks little Timmy is right and her mommy is wrong!

Gus, I’ll check for the spider laying eggs – but please do not give Timmy any ideas.

Well, I'm glad you got back to me in such a timely fashion, linkat. I've been sitting here for three friggin' days waiting for your answer.

People call up and ask, "Hey, Gus, wanna go bowling?" or "Some of the boys are down by the creek, wrestling alligators. Wanna head down there, Gus?"

But every time I've had to tell them, "No.... I'm waiting on Linkat. Gotta find out about these spiders."

Sorry, Gus. I was so busy with the exterminator this past weekend. We had to lock up my daughter in a sealed room until all the chemicals had worn off. Luckily when we shook out the spiders out of her brain (via her ears), there did not appear to be any eggs.

I will have to confer with Timmy to see where the spiders are coming from. This may result in a change of schools if I find that her school is infested with them. Or I suspect it is little Timmy – I think he has it in for my daughter and is some how imbedding these pests some one – maybe he is placing them in her hat when she isn’t looking.

Linkat--

Ask her in hushed tones whether she knows what Little Timmy has in his ears.

Pause dramatically.


Holler, "WAX.


I'm betting Little Timmy has a bit of a swagger and a twinkle in his eye. Early love has many forms--mostly rather repulsive.

Oh, Noddy, don’t tell my husband this! When my little girl was 3, she was dressed as a princess for Halloween. Our doorbell rang and she ran to open it along with me. Among the group of children was a little boy about a year older than my daughter. He looked at her, sighed and said, “Mommy, she is my girlfriend.” Now I am thinking how cute. The look on my husband’s face was of horror and anger. He did not like it one bit.

....and the Halloween Swain didn't come with spiders, either.

Men!

I'm afraid you will find this to be true for many years to come. It's Timmy now, but it will be Tommy and Susie and Betty tomorrow. When they're 20 or so you might be given some credit for knowing something but for now you're just Mom. :wink:

J_B – I understand that kids do not believe their parents, but I did not expect it at such a young age. I think I was a preteen before I thought such things about my mom.

At least my 2 year old still thinks I am the best.
