Engine Spider- Good news

Ashton is quite the story teller. The other day we found two big bumps on his leg. I was concerned that they were spider bites, but he said "Mom, I am pretty sure they are scorpion bites or somethin' " I told him that a scorpion bite would kill him, so he made up an elaborate story about why he is still alive today.

It went something like this-

" After the scorpion bit me, the engine spider came by and sucked out the poison from me. Engine spiders are this big (he holds up his hands about 2 feet apart) They are blue and white. They save peoples lives."

I tried to get him to tell the story for the camera, but he was a little embarrassed (perhaps because it was all a big lie) but I caught a glimpse of it.
