Grandfather's Leg

The other day while I was in my room (okay, yes, I was in my bed) a granddaddy long leg crawled on me. I told LG about it and included the fact that I threw it in daddy's closet...really I just threw it OFF of ME & that's where he landed...poor fella.

Over Christmas break, LG had a friend over one night and they came in the kitchen saying they were scared to go down the hallway to LG's bedroom. I asked why they were scared and the following conversation took place:

Evans: "LG said that there was a grandfather's leg in your room and you threw it in Mr. Chris' closet! We want YOU to walk down the hall with us to LG's room!"
Me: "I responded with, "W...H...A...T???, LG what are you talking about???"
LG: "MAMA, remember when you said that there was a grandfather's leg in your room and you threw it in daddy's closet???"

I quickly racked my brain & remembered the Grandaddy Long Leg story and started laughing - the girls could NOT understand what was so funny about throwing a grandfather's leg in a closet. I was sure to fill them in on the REAL story...oh, the joys of childhood! :)
