Do You Think the Spiders Like That?
(warning there is throwing up in this story) So Thursday, Ben and I drove out to Nana's to check on the house and as we were driving back to Irvine on the toll road, I had that horrible feeling come over me. I got off at the next exit and quickly turned into an apartment complex. Ben starts questioning me..."Mom are you lost?", "Do you know where you are going?", "This doesn't look like the right place." I couldn't answer him for fear of losing it in the car. I quickly pulled over, put the car in park and ran out of the vehicle and lost it in the bushes. As I was throwing up, Ben jumps out of the car and begins asking me questions. I finally got control enough to ask him to get me some tissues from the car, which he promptly did. As I was waiting to see if I was for sure done, he leaned over and looked in the bushes.
"That's gross Mom."
"Yes it is."
Then with a questioning look he asked, "Do you think the spiders like it when you throw up in there?"
If I hadn't been feeling so gross, I would have fallen over laughing! I chuckled and answered, "I don't know son. That's a good question."
I love that even in the grossed of situations my children keep me entertained! What will he come up with next?

In answer to Ben's question: no, I don't think the Spiders like that. In fast, I don't think ANYONE or ANYTHING likes that!! EEEEWWWWW Gross!!!!
Marile is wrong. Fish LOVE puke. When we were snorkeling at Molokini a girl on our same boat barfed in the water but none of us knew. The fish swarmed the area. Our snorkel guide motioned us all up to the surface and told us not to swim over there because someone probably yakked. It wasn't until later that the girl on our boat mentioned that it had been her. So gross!
Oh Ben, what a kid! I love it, he is funny. Sorry you are still feeling yucky. I got my Toll Violation waived! Yippy.
