Home Sweet Home

Here is one of the conversations at our new home...

Kate: So, I talked to B, J's mom. They had a snake in their driveway a few months ago.
Len: OK.
Kate: (who happens to have the worst case of arachnophobia) And, she also said their neighbor had a tarantula crawling into the house through the vent.
Len: (still somewhat uninterested) They did?
Kate: And, our neighbor J said her husband shoed 2 tarantulas off their front porch. I'm telling you THEY ARE HERE!
Len: You need to stop talking to people about this stuff.
Kate: I need to know the truth!
Len: You can't handle the truth.
