We did what?!

So I took the girls to Discovery Gateway with my friend Megan and her girls to play for a while. As we were walking around one of the workers showed up with a huge tarantula spider. We got close, and even touched it. But somehow that guy talked me (and Megan) into holding that thing! I was so worried that I was going to shake with fear so hard that it would bite me. But I did fine. It was very soft and light. It almost tickled as it walked around on my hands. (FREAKY!!!) Now I can say I did that, and won't ever be doing that again. :)
