We were published in today's Bulletin Board in the Saint Paul Pioneer Press! (I was very surprised since I sent this story in over 3 months ago!)

"Keeping your ears open
Grandma Jody: Conversation overheard in the backseat between 4 1/2 year-old Princess
Sophie and 7 year-old Luke (AKA Boy Genius) by my daughter Sarah.
Princess Sophie: "Today I petted a tarantula, a moth, and some other bugs too!"
Boy Genius: "A spider is NOT a bug- it is an arachnid. Arachnids have 8 legs, bugs have six."
Princess Sophie: "Well, the tarantula was really nice! She didn't have any claws!"
Boy
Genius: "Mom, can that be true that tarantulas can be nice?"
Apparently not convinced, he turns to Princess Sophie, "Hey, they aren't
claws, they are fangs. And there are no nice tarantulas. It still wanted to bite you, it just couldn't." "
