Spiders in the Garden
A father watched his young daughter playing in the
garden. He smiled as he reflected on how sweet and
pure his little girl was. He thought about her seeing
the wonders of nature through such innocent eyes.
Suddenly she just stopped and stared at the ground. He
went over to her to see what work of God had captured
her attention. He noticed she was looking at two
spiders mating. "Daddy, what are those two spiders
doing?" she asked. "They're mating," her father
replied. "What do you call the spider on top?" she
asked. "That's a Daddy Longlegs," her father answered.
"So, the other one is a Mommy Longlegs?" the little
girl asked. As his heart soared with the joy of such a
cute and innocent question, he replied "No dear. Both
of them are Daddy Longlegs. "The little girl, looking
a little puzzled, thought for a moment, then took her
foot and stomped them flat and said, "Well, we're not
having any of that Broke back-Mountain shit in our
garden."
