My wife…my hero

I am about to admit something, and I do it with a little bit of shame. I am afraid of spiders, well, all bugs really, but spiders I fear the most.

This was especially hard when I was serving my mission in Ecuador where Banana Spiders frollick all over the place. These spiders are huge too. They get bigger than your hand when it is spread out and they are as fast as lightning. *Shudder*

My wife, on the other hand, has no such fear. As such, she has been designated the honorary spider catcher in our home. This comes in handy too because all of my children have inherited my phobia…especially Britain. It’s always easy to know when a spider is loose because it is signaled with loud, terrifying screams reverberating all through the house. Of course, this is when my wife springs into action and saves us all.

So we owe her a debt of gratitude and with that I honor her with this comic that pretty much characterizes what goes on in the Basua home on a daily basis.

She is our hero.
