“Margo, I am going to try to remain calm while you explain to me exactly what happened in this room while I was gone.”

“Uh, well Mom, Jackie & I were finger-painting and everything was fine and then there was this gigantic spider that was really, really BIG and hairy and it was crawling right at us and so we got scared and then we tried to kill it but then we started having fun with the paint & stuff and forgot about the spider and then you came in.”

Jackie elbowed Margo and whispered, “Maybe you should tell her there were two spiders.”
