The Wood Spider

When the wood spider appeared, three grown adults turned into Olympic sprinters, each claiming they’d "totally got this" while leaping onto furniture. Armed with a broom, Aunt Linda valiantly charged, only to have the spider drop from the ceiling and send her into a panicked interpretive dance. Grandpa tried reasoning with it, offering a truce, but after it scurried closer, he declared war and retreated behind the safety of a couch cushion. The spider disappeared under the rug, prompting a heated debate over who should lift it—while no one wanted to be anywhere near it. After a collective three minutes of bravery, the final solution was to evacuate the room and leave the spider to claim its new kingdom.
