Daddy Long-Legs

A father watched his daughter playing in the garden. He smiled as he reflected on how sweet and innocent his little girl was.

Suddenly she just stopped and stared down at the ground.
He went over to her and noticed that she was looking at two spiders mating.

“Daddy, what are those two spiders doing?” she asked.
“They're mating.” her father replied.

“What do you call the spider on top, Daddy?” she asked.
"That's a Daddy Longlegs." Her father answered.

“So, the mother one is Mommy Longlegs?” the little girl asked.
“No,” her father replied. “Both of them are Daddy Longlegs.”

The little girl thought for a moment, then took her foot and stomped on them flat. “Well, that might be OK in California and Massachusetts, but we’re not having any of that shit in Connecticut!!”
