Last night while I was "helping" Riley and Mia clean the playroom Riley found a spider. He promptly decided to catch it and make it his pet. Of course he and Mia argued for the next half hour because if Riley has a pet spider, Mia needs one too. Mia wanted Riley to share because she says that she is "to scared" to catch her own. Riley told her to try to catch a Daddy Long Leg because they don't bite. A few minutes later he dared her to catch a "biting spider" like his. With all of this going on, can you guess who ended up cleaning the play room.
Riley has named his spider Spinerack. I woke this morning to them discussing what they were going to feed him. They have been searching the house to try to catch a fly for him. They have decided he is a boy (I am not sure how they came to that conclusion). Mia did try to convince Riley that if it was a girl, it could have baby spiders. Mia has informed me that if she catches a spider it will be a girl and she will call it "Charloppe."

That is a hilarious story. Where do they come up with these things--especially the names? Are they webkins names? I think you should post a picture of the spider (if it survives).
