5. Spiders are special critters

In our house. Rather than freak out when we see one we say hello to it and bless your coming and going. Its Grandmother Spider to us, and we feel She watches over us as long as we treat her babies well.

I do watch for any dangerous ones, like the brown recluse and try to take him safely away outdoors.

Our cats don't chase the spiders either... even when they see them scuttling across the floor. Kinda freaks my daughter out sometimes but she knows we're weird anyway... gryn.
