Overheard from downstairs the other week:
Matthew: There's a spider in the playroom. There's a spider in the playroom.
Aidan: Is it a huntsman?
Matthew: Yeah, I think it might be.
Aidan: Let me see how big it is.
Silence
Aidan: Oh, it's just a little one. Just set the Legos up a little to the side of it.
Matthew: Okay.
Two years ago we were chasing huntsmen - which grow to be as big and meaty as tarantulas - out of our closets and trying to contain them in big pots to get them outside. (Not only do I not believe in killing spiders, can you imagine the mess killing something that size would make?!)
Now we are building our Lego cities around them.
