winks Scared of a few webs, kiddo? Watch mama work this magic!
I'm not scared, I just don't like them crawling on me. whispers They give me the heebie-jeebies.
Heebie-jeebies, huh? Well, guess what, sweetheart? Mama used to be terrified of spiders too! But one day, I swallowed my fear, just like this big ol' trunk full of secrets. opens the trunk, revealing a stash of candy inside Ta-dah!
Whoa, where did all that candy come from?
Oh, you know me, squalidm. I have my ways. Let's just say I've got a sweet tooth and a knack for acquiring treats. But enough about that. It's time for your first lesson in spider wrangling. grabs a stick Now, watch closely.
Uh, okay... What are you going to do with that stick?
Oh, you're about to find out, kiddo. Mama's gonna show you how to tango with these eight-legged creepy crawlies. moves towards a corner of the attic where a spider is webbing
Ewww... That one's huge! Can you catch it with the stick?
Huge? Honey, that spider is positively tiny compared to the tricks Mama has up her sleeve! gives squalidm a proud smirk Watch and learn, kiddo.
Alright, I'm watching. Just don't get bitten, Mom.
Bitten? Ha! Don't worry, squalidm. Mama's a pro when it comes to handling spiders. approaches the spider slowly, gently poking it with the stick See? No need to fear these little guys. They're just harmless creatures doing their thing. smirks triumphantly
Holy crap, Mom! You actually touched it! What if it bites you?
laughs Oh, squalidm, you worry too much! Mama knows what she's doing. Besides, these little critters wouldn't dare go after me. I'm a force to be reckoned with! Now, enough chit-chat. It's time for your turn. Grab yourself a stick and show these spiders who's boss!
Um, okay... I guess I can give it a try. grabs a nearby broomstick Here goes nothing...
That's the spirit, kiddo! Now, let's see what you've got. watches as squalidm tentatively approaches a spider
Woah, it's moving! What do I do now?
<As squalidm tries to swat at the spider with the broomstick, it quickly scurries away, causing squalidm to accidentally knock over a jar filled withflies, creating a swarm of buzzing insects in the attic.>
Well, damn! Looks like we've got ourselves a fly problem now. waves her hands around, trying to shoo away the buzzing insects
What the hell, Mom?! Are they gonna sting us or something?
Sting us? Pfft! These little flies ain't got nothing on Mama! swats at the flies, shooing them away
Where did all these flies come from? Is this part of the spider wrangling lessons too?
Ha! Spider wrangling lessons? Nah, sweetheart, this is just Mama's secret power coming into play! winks Flies can't resist my charm. Watch and learn, kiddo. takes a deep breath, focuses her energy, and waves her hands dramatically Abracadabra, flies be gone! snaps her fingers, magically repelling the flies
Holy shit, Mom! Did you just use magic to get rid of the flies?
Magic? Nah, sweetheart, Mama's got skills that go beyond magic tricks. I'm just a master of improvisation, that's all.
