Garrett Davis - Daddy Kill The Spider – Story From North America

Here’s a story from North America!

Daddy, daddy, daddy, hurry!
I saw something scurry!

Son, what’s all this screaming for?
You’re gonna wake the neighbors next door!

Daddy, I think there’s a spider on my floor!
Is it?
And will you squish it?

You call me in here in the middle of the night
To come into your room and destroy life?
Is that what they teach you
In Sunday School?

But Daddy, it’s gross!
It’s got a million legs!
A billion eyes!
A trillion eggs!

Son, it’s not disgusting – it’s just reality;
Take a deep breath and appreciate life!

Look how delicate his legs are
Crawling across your bedroom floor!
Do you know the proper name?

Arachnid!!!

That’s right!

We’re living in a world that’s full of creatures,
Big and small,
Hairy and slimy,
You are not the center of the world…

How would you feel if a giant hand
Came out of the sky and decided to crush you?

I guess I’d be scared, but Daddy!
What if
The spider hurts me?

He didn’t hurt you yet, did he, son?
Your logic is flawed, you come undone!
Swallow your pride.
What if the spider said the same thing:
Daddy, daddy, kill that kid!

That’s the point, dad! What if he did?
That’s why
I have to strike first!

What if he did?
What if he didn’t???
What if the world was made of pudding???????

All I’m saying is consider
Something
Besides your
Thirst… for blood?

Dad, you’re right!
Now I see!
Maybe he’s got a family!

Now you’re learning,
Understanding,
Finally you’re becoming human!!!

Let’s return him to his natural habitat -
Put him in a cup and take him outside…

Godspeed.
