Daddy Long Legs

[MIGHTYONE 309]

A father watched his young daughter playing in the garden. He smiled as he

 

reflected on how sweet and pure his little girl was.

 

Tears formed in his eyes as he thought about her seeing the wonders of

nature through such innocent eyes.

 

Suddenly she just stopped and stared at the ground.

 

He went over to her to see what work of God had captured her attention.

 

He noticed she was looking at two crane flies mating.

 

"Daddy, what are those two spider things doing?" she asked.

 

"They're mating," her father replied.

 

"What do you call the spider on top?" she asked.

 

"That's a Daddy Longlegs," her father answered.

 

"So, the other one is a Mummy Longlegs?" the little girl asked.

 

As his heart soared with the joy of such a cute and innocent question he

replied, "No dear. Both of them are Daddy Longlegs."

 

The little girl, looking a little puzzled, thought for a moment, then took

 

her foot and stomped them flat.

 

Well, we're not having any of that gay shit in our garden."
