Not What I was Expecting... #2

A couple of weeks ago, on a Thursday, I was hanging out at Kirby's house, like always. Kirby is one of my best friends, and i always go to her house, weather its for dance or a TV show or just hanging out. I had gone over there (no surprise) to watch LOST one of our favorite TV shows, this is a ritual, not watching LOST would be like dying every Thursday night, no kidding. Kirby and I always watch LOST on Thursdays because that is when it comes on. Normally there isn't anything too creepy on that show, because, well, its just about a bunch of people lost on an island. Well Kirby and I were getting kind of hungry and we always eat something before the show, so we had gone up to the kitchen to find a snack or something to eat right before the show started. We walked up to the kitchen, our stomachs craving something incredibly delicious. Kirby looked in the pantry for some chips or popcorn or something and I looked in the fridge for whatever left over there might be in there, we couldn't find anything. We were slowly losing hope and our stomachs were moaning. We were really hungry. We looked in every container that we could find. And then I spotted it. A lonely container sitting on the counter. It was your average tupperware, where food is stored in, to not go bad. I wondered what was in it, we hadn't found anything that looked appealing to us yet. This looked like a possibility, so why not? I picked up the container to see what was inside, but the plastic was translucent. I picked it up, shook it a little, looked at the bottom, but i still couldn't figure out what was inside. I took the lid off, as if to open a container of nuts or something, and screamed. There was a giant dryed-out, hairy, brown, totally dead tarantula just lying there. It was staring at me with its beady little eyes, and it looked evil. It was scary!!!! This was very weird because I'm not afraid of insects or spiders or anything like that. When I was younger i had picked up a baby scorpion and petted it, this should not have scared me. I was taken by surprise. I mean who expects to find a tarantula, when you are expecting to see something like grapes or pasta or something? But this totally scared me to death. Jody, Kirby's mom, had found the tarantula on the beach in the sand while she was in Oaxaca. She had brought it home and given it to Wyatt, Kirby's younger brother. He had put it in the container, and placed it in the kitchen to see who would open it and get scared. Apparently, his joke worked.
