It took 10 years but my son finally got me with his fake spider.
+10 years ago we would put his creepy crawlers in various locations trying to scare each other.
~10 years ago I remember him saying "you haven't found the spider."
I spent some time braced for it.
Apparently it takes me 10 years before I get up on a ladder to paint above a set of cabinets. Yes, it startled me when I saw it out of the corner of my eye. Even he forgot where he put it, so he says.
Tomorrow, when I do the second cut in and clean the top of the cabinets, the spider goes back into play.
I won't be bested.
