what NOT to say....

...as your wife is falling asleep:

Kenneth: "It's been a long time since I've seen a brown recluse...."
Me: "What!?(instantly awake with pounding heart) When did you see a brown recluse? Why do you say that?"
Kenneth: "No, I haven't seen one lately... that is what I meant...it has been a long time since I've seen a brown recluse."
Me: "Why on earth would you say that right now?"
Kenneth: "I don't know. It just came to my mind."

...Cause if you do happen to start this conversation late at night when your wife is going to sleep, there is a very real possibility that she is going to make you go check all of your children for spiders.
