Subject: [HP3000-L] OT:Eating spiders


Greetings,

Since it's a Friday going into a three-day weekend,
I thought this would be okay...

My twelve-year-old daughter wouldn't sleep in her
bed because she saw a spider and was told by her
teacher that we eat spiders when we sleep.  (I asked
her the name of that teacher, so we could "chat", but
she declined for fear of embarrassment).

My almost sixteen-year-old daughter concurred with
her younger sister.

I tried to convince them, but it was like talking to,
well, two young girls.

I can find nothing on the net do debunk their story.

Is this a legend, or a fact?

Ernie
