    A couple stages ago my mom might have said that meaning, “I think I see a spider walking over there”.  I wish she could speak that well. The gobble-de-gook we’ve got these days is very saddening. Anyway, gotta laugh!

    Reminds me of a time not too long ago when my mom found a discarded sock. She brought it to my sister and I and loudly proclaimed "I found a foot!" We had a good chuckle and thanked her for straightening up. On occasion she still calls socks a foot.
