Post# of 5246
Stories about children and their views of the
world are always touching.
A father watched his young daughter playing in
the garden.
He smiled as he reflected on how sweet and pure his
little girl was.
Tears formed in his eyes as he thought about her
seeing the wonders of nature through such innocent eyes.
Suddenly she just stopped and stared at the ground.
He went over to her to see what work of God had
captured her attention.
He noticed she was looking at two spiders and asked
'Daddy, what are those two spiders doing?'
'They're mating,' her father replied.
'What do you call the spider on top?' she asked.
'A Daddy Longlegs,' her father answered.
'So, the other one is a Mommy Longlegs?' the little
girl asked.
As his heart soared with the joy of such a cute and
innocent question he replied, 'No dear. Both of them are Daddy
Longlegs.'
'The little girl, looking a little puzzled, thought
for a moment, then lifted her foot and stomped them flat.
'Well," she said, "that may be OK in California, but
we're not having any of that shit in Texas."
