I was at my parents house, like usual. There were a bunch of kids over and I was in the yard playing near a tree with some swings. There was something interesting that happened in the tree and I remember thinking I'm glad I'm sober to see how cool it was. I went inside to talk to my mom and she was extremely stressed out. She was fiddling with a bunch of papers and she said she needed her laptop to get something done and asked if I could go get it. I wanted to help so I went to look for it, but I couldn't find it anywhere. I knew she would be angry if I returned without it. After a while of looking, I finally gave her a notebook and said I was sorry I couldn't find it and she didn't really answer me. I decided to go back outside to watch the kids some more. On my way out the steps, I saw a small white spider on my leg. I swatted it off and then looked at the ground and it was much bigger than I had thought. It also looked like dead skin, so I washed it for a minute. Sure enough, it cracked open and a huge black spider crawled out of the shell. I also thought to myself, wow that's so cool I'm glad I didn't kill it.
