What's that?

I was driving back from Chinese tuition when I noticed a dark spot crawling across the windscreen. I guess you know what it is. Yeah, a giant tarantula. I stopped the car and started screaming. My dad was like..."what?..what? WHAT? WHAT IS IT? WHAT??"

Anyway, did I mention I don't like spiders. Especially big ones that look like they could swallow a fairly large rat.

The spider disappeared so I tentatively continued on my way. I was driving on that road next to the Glen when BAM...it came back. I started screaming again but this time I had to keep driving because there were other cars. My dad was like...pull over and I'll knock it off. Which he did. My daddy the hero, the spider killer. Haha.

Reminds me of that time we were driving back from the country and I noticed there was a big white spider next to my head. My dad refused to pull over and kill it so I sat there utterly petrified for an hour or more as we drove drove. I really don't like spiders.

When they said we must learn to drive through distraction, I don't think that's quite what they meant.

I hate spiders I really do.

With love,
Mel
