13. When I was a kid

I grew up in an old family farm house and we always had spiders so I never minded them. But one morning when I was a teen, I woke up and being the teen I was, was very out of it. I walked through my doorway and felt something on my face. I turned around and a huge wolf spider had made a web in that doorway and I walked right into it. I had itches for weeks thinking that it was on me.
