Philip,the children's book Charlotte's Web by E.B. White is about a writing spider named Charlotte and her friend Wilbur the pig who she saves from being sold and slaughtered by writing in her web how great he is.

Well, no wonder she quit writing to you. First...she writes like a spider, now, strange things were put in her mouth?  I think I would be very worried about being your sister, also. HEHEHE

Carolyn & Philip---I agree with you Carolyn! Shame on you Philip!
But on this topic of spiders and mouths, Eileen has my vote with her 2 cents:
"Don't worry Philip as each of us swallowing approx. eight spiders a year in our sleep is only an old wives tale. Think about it - surely we'd inhale them instead of swallowing them and, if so, then we'd choke rather than swallow!! Spiders, it seems, are rarely, if ever, suicidal, clumsy or attracted to mammalian orifices."
