I Think I Need To Make More Friends (the human kind)
I've been torn the past few days over whether to move Charlotte, the spider who lives in my sideview mirror ( yes, I named her,) to a location better suited to an arachnid.
I actually found myself thinking these thoughts as I drove home tonight, watching Charlotte bounce up and down on her web, and flap wildly in the wind:
"What if she really wants the web on my car door? Maybe she likes having her universe shaken at least twice a day when I drive around. Maybe it's fun to her. Maybe she's an extreme spider."
And:
"But what if she doesn't move somewhere else because she doesn't realize other places don't move around...I wonder if spiders have some sort of brain?"
Sweet Jesus.
