If you've never seen the show Monk (Tony Shalhoub) on USA, you should really check it out. Monk is a neurotic ex-detective for the San Francisco police department. He notices stuff, puts the pieces together, and neatly solves crimes for the police. His big problem is that he's an obsessive-compulsive with a phobia for everything - from milk to monkeys, charcoal to caves, harmonicas to heights, slime to spiders. It's hysterical the lengths he will go to avoid a phobia.
Anywho, Cupie wanted to play in the basement yesterday. No biggie, the bulk of the "big" toys are down there - kitchen set, humongous Barbie house, etc.
I was busy signing a sale contract for our old house (we still own it, two years after we moved out) when I heard a blood curdling scream. I looked at Hubby who just sat on the couch completely ignoring Cupie's cries. I was busy. He was just sitting on the couch (well, he might have been working on something I asked him to do, but he was closer to the basement door so he totally should have jumped to his feet).
There was a spider!
A big, hairy, fast one!
Getting on a chair wasn't high enough for Cupie. She pulled a total Monk move by climbing up on a table - because the fear of spiders totally trumps the fear of heights.
Silver Lining:
- Daddy was once again a super hero for killing the spider. For his past heroic acts, click here.
- For everyone who seen an episode of Monk, this is pretty funny. For anyone who hasn't, sorry if you don't get the post.

I've seen the show a couple times. I have a few of those phobia type things myself, so I totally get this. I wouldn't be on a table for a spider...but, a snake...I'd be hanging from the ceiling! How is it that husbands tune out screaming kids?

BIG BIG HUGS
Acted that way myself a couple days ago when I saw a lime green lizard in my bedroom. Husband to the rescue. For spiders, I might have climbed higher.
I actually just finished watching the new episode from last week, you know the one where Monk was the sane one?? I would have been screaming over the spider too though!
I have been meaning to watch that show. Maybe I will have to add it to my netflix list.
