    That is hilarious! You are an excellent writer as well. Storytelling perfection!

    I kind of have an opposite experience with my 11 year old son. My wife has the above stated hatred/fear of Spiders, but she’s deathly afraid of Snakes (way more than spiders). My son, however LOVES snakes. A few weeks ago he and I were on a hike and ran across a decent sized Rattlesnake. My son was running up ahead of me and called back that he found a rattlesnake. He has a healthy respect for them and kept his distance. It was a beautiful Western Massasauga.

    My son now like to tease my wife with pictures of snakes, throwing his stuffed snake at her at surprise times, etc. It’s all in good fun, and my wife is a good sport about it.

    Edit: snake in question
