Little bear is not particularly scared of spiders. He was inspecting one the other night as it sat on his wall. He didn't show any desire to touch it, but he was more curious than anything.
Then as we kissed him goodnight OH said, 'night night, sleep tight and mind the bugs don't bite.' I could see little bear tense.
'I don't want spider in my room.' he said nervously.
'Oh, he's not in his bedroom.' I said breezily. 'I've just seen him in the bathroom washing his feet.'
Little bear did sleep well that night, and I definitely am careful about the sayings I use to him now.
