(while playing lego together)

Dad: So RJ, if you were at your birthday party and a giant, venomous spider showed up, threatening everyone…

RJ: (curious) Yeah?

Dad: What kind of weapon would you use to fight it? A sword? A spear?

RJ: Well… Hmm… To kill a giant spider,..  I would use… A giant boot!

Click go the chelicerae, Click Click Click!

(while eating breakfast)

RJ: Scarlet’s feet are clicking… Click click click.

Dad: Is that a problem?

RJ: Yes. It reminds me of giant spiders walking around the house… Giant spiders that eat people.

Dad: Maybe we could train one. We could have it as a pet!

RJ: No. That’s not a good idea.

Dad: Why not?

RJ: Because Grammy doesn’t mind little spiders, but she would be scared of a giant spider and she would freak out.

Dad: Fair enough. Can’t say I’d blame her.
