turned shower on
climbed in
too hot
adjusted temperature
enjoyed a good soaking
turned around to shampoo hair
gaze falls on loofah
eyes lock on spider on loofah
the loofah i had had my hand next to twice

WHY. ARE. YOU. ON. MY. LOOFAH??!

of all the places!
why is it there?
was it alone?
was it a spider rendezvous?
are there spider babies in my loofah?

grab a shampoo bottle
can't use it, it's mine
grab a different shampoo bottle
tentatively shake spider off of loofah
slam shampoo bottle down on it
gleefully watch it wash down drain

moral of story:
i encounter way too many spiders

  1. You need to move to Brazil or some other foreign jungle country where there are fewer spiders.

  2. 3-0. I hope the opposing team never scores.
