Following on from the spider dance story below, The Daughter came home from school the other day feeling very proud of herself.
During class the children had noticed a Huntsman on one of the walls. Some of them weren't too happy about it so The Daughter volunteered to help out.
She's telling me the story of how scared the other kids (and teacher) are but I am ahead of her by thinking she'd do what I do and grab a container with lid and do the deed. So here's a proud dad relieved that something is finally rubbing off. True, just spider catching techniques, but hey, there's a lot more exciting stuff I can teach her in life; we have to start somewhere!
Then she tells me she let it walk onto her hand and she calmly shows it about before taking it outside and releasing it.
Surprised I ask how big it was.
"Oh, about this big" says she as she traces a finger around her palm... about 7.5cm (3") across!
I asked her if she was frightened and she replied at first she was, but it just sat there.
"It tickled when it walked up my wrist"
Crickey!
