ARACHNOPHOBIA: The "Thrill-omedy" Turns Thirty
by Brian Keiper
I must have been four or five, all dressed up and getting ready to go to church. My mom was standing behind me brushing my hair as we both stood in front of our large bathroom mirror. Suddenly, her face went ashen and her expression turned to stone-faced seriousness.
“Hold still!” she said, “there’s a spider in your hair.”
As I write these words, I still feel the terror I felt as a little kid in that moment. Would it bite me? How long had it been there? Had it laid eggs?
“April fool,” my mom said.
