Arachnophobia of Ron Weasley-Sized Proportions

What was actually in the car:

"Get out of the car!" My mom shrieks as soon as we parked at the mall. I follow her panicked stare to find the furry, eight-legged beast menacingly brandishing its mandibles on the rear-view mirror. My mom and I take turns running around the car like headless chickens, much to the amusement of passersby. I grab the hairspray out of the backseat that my mom had just bought from Ulta and attempt to use it as a weapon (but nothing kills bugs better than Lysol.) No good. Aragog was still going strong. 10 minutes of high-pitched womanly gibberish later, a brave man (who absolutely deserves a gold star for his courage) came over to our car with a napkin, and in one fell swoop snatched the offensive creature up and threw it out. To the gentleman who slayed the spider: THANK YOU!! WE COULD HAVE BEEN THERE FOR DAYS!!

What it felt like:(my Mom literally told me that she would do her best to protect me from the dangers in life, but when it came to spiders, I was on my own.)

And now, a mix dedicated to today's adventures:
