Spider Webs may cause flash backs

This morning, as I was taking out the trash, I noticed a black widow spider web. Staring at the weeds and little flowers and bits of debris that had gotten caught in this web, I had one of those moments that send you spiraling into the past to a distant memory from what seems like another life. You know like on tv when someone is trying to remember who they are cause their memory was stolen by the CIA or something and one little thing tips them off, like a balloon floating in the sky and suddenly they remember everything. It was sort of like that, but I remember who I am and my life, or do I? Maybe I'm being tricked and I really used to be a CIA agent. Anyway my point is, this spider web reminded me of a time a while back, how far back I can't remember but it was a while ago, and I was outside with the nanny boys. I pointed out to them a black widow web and said "you can tell it's a black widow web cause there is no pattern and it's a bit chaotic" and Alex asked why they were called black widows. I answered with "well they are black and they eat their men." And Trevor pipes in with this funny and fairly true statement "That's why their webs are so crazy, cause women go crazy when there are no men around. And well if she eats her man, she is twice as crazy." Hahaha at the time, I thought hmm that's funny and probably laughed about it a little and then thought nothing of it. And then being reminded of that today, I thought about this comic book/ graphic novel series thing I had read about all the men dying all at once and in that book, the women really did go a bit crazy. So there you have it, the wisdom of a child, women go crazy without men around.
