Its not Charlottes Web

The Peanut is deathly scared of Spiders. We all know that (daddy mommy and lillybug). Last night, while playing in her backyard sand pile, the Daddy wanted Peanut to come in for a bath. It was getting late and a little chilly and she had been playing in her sand pile for a good hour. It WAS time to come in. So daddy yells down to Gracie, "Honey, its time to come in now." Well of course she yelled up to Daddy on the deck, "No!! I am okay dad I am just playing" "Sweetheart, you need to come inside. Its getting late and mommy is going to be home from Young women's any minute." the Daddy calls back to her. She again says, "no thanks daddy, I'm okay." Well the Daddy was starting to get frustrated. He could see thunder clouds rolling in and the thought of the mommy (that would be me) saying, "Honey, you didn't even get Peanut in the tub while I was gone?" was echoing in his head. So Again, he hollered down to Gracie again, "Marjorie Gracie!!! You get up here right now or you'll be in trouble." Now with this child, saying her full name doesn't really work all that well. She still didn't come up and in for a bath. What else could the Daddy do? He had to pull out the big guns, "Marjorie Grace, you better get up stairs right now before The spiders come out." That did it. The poor, scared child shot out of her sand pile in white face terror. She started screaming that the Spiders were going to get her and that Daddy needed to come down and pick her up "RIGHT NOW!!!" because she couldn't move without the spiders getting her. NICE HONEY!!! Well, she did come up and she did get in the tubbie. I don't know if she'll ever venture into her sand pile again.
