Average Day for an MK

It seemed like an average day...

We were playing on the playground. Then while we were digging in the sand we discovered a giant spider. It wasn’t as big as a dinner plate, but it was larger than the bottom of a cup. It was extremely hard to see because it was the exact color of the sand and even had camouflage type spots all over its body and eight hairy legs. Even the ants didn’t realize what it was until it attacked them. It was angered that we dug it up. It charged us. We tried to catch it with a shovel but it jumped right out. We were so scared that we ran up the jungle gym. But then we got our courage up and caught it using a plastic bucket. Daddy said, “You have to kill that.” We went to get our weapons of choice. Mom got Doom (bug spray). I snatched a boomerang. My sister grabbed a sword. We sprayed Doom in the bucket and attacked it with both sword and boomerang. Then the weird thing happened. We discovered a huge sac of eggs coming out of its bottom. One of the spiders had already hatched by the time we realized what it was. We charged it with all three weapons! Hundreds of tiny spiders came out. We gasped. Nate screamed, “Buggie!” Savannah screamed, “Eggie!” We yelled. We sprayed them with Doom. Then the spiders were easy pray for our boomerang and sword. I guess it was just another average day in Uganda.
