“Anytime I’ve let a spider escape in the house, it has appeared on or near me later somewhere else in the house.”

“My cousin was a robot at Hallowe’en once. I felt so bad for him when it rained and the box fell apart.”
“Unh-huh.”
“Did I ever tell you about the time Mom agreed to give me 25 cents to buy some Bubble Yum but she made me eat an entire raw onion first?”
