plus 23 or minus 47?

Can't believe the time in my house--literally. The bedroom clock is exactly 23 minutes behind. Strangely enough I think it's the most viewed clock in the whole house, as I frequently make note of it during late night feedings. Why don't I change it? It's not that high up the wall, and because it hangs above the crib I certainly think about it every time I put Boston in or take him out. Why don't I change it? You wouldn't want to either after the incident.

It was a day not too long after Boston was born when I glanced at the clock as I always do, except the side of the clock was somehow moving.

Then the unmistakable creep and gestures of a wolf spider the size of a quarter slowly descended along the wall above where my baby was sleeping. Yessir, if you'd seen it you wouldn't want to touch that clock either!
