Daddy Long Legs

For weeks now Little Miss A and Mr. D have been obsessed by the Daddy Long Leg spiders under the stairs in the backyard...always inspecting and checking them out, although they're usually WAY up high. Today we pulled into the garage after school and found one on the wall. It was huge and right at the kids level, so I showed it to them thinking they'd like to see one up close. Little Miss A thought it was cool, then walked into the house. Mr. D, on the other hand, FREAKED out!!!! SCREAMING, CRYING in the middle of garage refusing to come anywhere near it. Seriously? Is this the same kid that just 2 days ago was completely mesmerized by the giant tarantula at school? Holy crow, I can't keep up.
