Henry was helping me with the laundry this afternoon when he spotted a spider madly scrambling up into the rafters and he panicked.
Henry: Ahhh!! A SPIDER!
Mama: It's all right, Henry. It won't hurt you.
Henry: It's not gonna BITE me???
Mama: No, it's a Daddy Longlegs.
Henry: Only the MAMA Longlegs bite???
Mama: No. There's only Daddy Longlegs.
Henry: What about the BABY Longlegs? Do they bite?
OK, you got me there. Never thought about gender discrimination in naming spiders.
