black widow...

Tonight someone posted a picture of a Black Widow Spider on their fb wall. I pointed out the picture to Eli and told him of the dangers of the Black Widow. I explained that if they bite you, you have to be rushed to the hospital because they can kill you. I thought that I was providing my son with important life saving information. I taught him this little poem ( I'm not sure if I heard this some

where or if I made it up) "if the spider has any red, run away or you could be dead"
Sherri thought it was a little over the top...I think Eli did too. I now have to go with him to brush his teeth, to get things out of his room, and he has proclaimed that he is sleeping in MY bed tonight. I hate Black Widow Spiders! They ruin everything!!!
