DAD: Enjoy your waffles, children!
KIDS: MMMMM!
YOUNGEST: Dad! There’s a spider on the wall.
<pause>
YOUNGEST: Dad! There’s a spider –
DAD: Just pretend you don’t see it.
ELDEST: You must be really scared. Why aren’t you screaming?
DAD: I am. On the inside. Eat your waffles.
YOUNGEST: There’s a spider on the wall!
ELDEST: I’ll kill it!
DAD: With what?
ELDEST: With my fork!
DAD: Are you crazy? Here, use a paper towel.
ELDEST: Got it! Wait. Nope. I just got two legs.
DAD: WHAAAT?
ELDEST: See? They’re twitching.
DAD: Where’s the rest of it?
ELDEST: It flew away.
DAD: ….spiders don’t fly, son.
ELDEST: This one did.
DAD: We have to leave this house.
