Kansas Spiders
A father watched his daughter playing in the garden. He smiled as he
reflected on how sweet and innocent his little girl was. Suddenly she
just stopped and stared at the ground. He went over to her and
noticed she was looking at two spiders mating.
"Daddy, what are those two spiders doing?" she asked. "They're
mating," her father replied.
"What do you call the spider on top, Daddy?" she asked.
"That's a Daddy Longlegs." Her father answered.
"So, the other one is Mommy Longlegs?" the little girl asked.
"No," her father replied. "They're both Daddy Longlegs."
The little girl thought for a moment, then took her foot and
stomped them flat and said "Well, it might be okay in California or
Massachusetts, but we're not having any of that in Kansas!"
Speed, we must have the same spiders up here
