So I’m cleaning my office tonight (there’s a desk in there–who knew?), and I came upon an old music mix that included the Carly Simon version of The Itsy Bitsy Spider.
And I’m listening, and suddenly, after four decades of knowing this song, it hits me: this song is a lie.
I mean, for the most part, spiders aren’t all that sturdy. And I know what generally happens when insects and arachnids get washed away by large amounts of rain.
This spider doesn’t make it. Of course he doesn’t.
How did I never realize?
