Invisible Spiders

Do you ever wonder what your children do when you're not watching? Well I do. And the other day I found out. I was working in the office when I heard the following vocalizations coming from down the hall and around the corner:

"Sniff . . . Sniff Sniff . . . Sniffffffffffffffff!"
Austin's voice: "I sniffed one up!"
Matthew's voice: (giggling) "let's get him!"

Then I heard the sound of an exaggerated exhaling of breath, much like what you hear when someone is blowing out candles on a birthday cake.

I decided that I had to see this, so I crept down the hall and peeked my head around the corner into the kitchen. I got there just in time to witness a repeat of the process.

"Sniff . . . Sniff . . . I sniffed one up!"
"Let's get him!"




Much exhaling of breath

Me: "What are you guys doing?"

Boys: "We're sniffing up spiders and then blowing them!"
Me: "Oh"

Why didn't I guess that from the beginning?
