He wasn’t glad because I made him release the spider, even though he understood.
When I heard our child scream, I knew there was something terribly wrong. She pointed to the air vent and kept saying spiders. I opened the air vent cover while my wife calmed our child down, however I saw nothing. I started putting the air vent cover back on when I saw a big spider crawling through. I instantly knew what was happening. I called our child and told him he had to get himself to his sibling’s dining room. I pointed to the spider coming out of the air vent and asked if he had put it there. He said it wasn’t one that would bite, and he didn’t think it would hurt anything. I told him his sibling was afraid of the spider, and it was still inside the air vent. He brought his spider cage to her room and carefully pulled the spider from the air vent and put it in his cage. I made him apologize to his sibling, and he had to sleep in her room for the night. The next afternoon, he released the spider back into the garden. He wasn’t glad because I made him release the spider, even though he understood. I told him if I had called the Heating and A/C supplier and the exterminator, he would have been paying both bills. I’m hoping he learned his lesson, but if he’s anything like I was, I’ve got a feeling this was just the beginning of the pranks. I just hope our child and the Heating and A/C system are going to survive them all. I’m not sure I will.
