“For Christmas we got this really cool tarantula.  I remember I thought she was a stuffed animal so I was about to put my hand in there and it started moving.  She’s a girl and her name is Harriet.  She’s a curly-haired tarantula.   We feed her crickets and today I was playing and I found a cricket in my room. I was holding it and it jumped out of my hand and landed in the toilet.  Then my sister just bolted over there and flushed it down the toilet!” – Jolon Grana
