RRSTVD - don’t even go there! They dont contact us unless they want something then it’s on FaceTime and it’s just John Lennon and Yoko - in bed all the time. You don’t get one without the other, they play with each others hair and stuff. Not really parent appropriate. 🤮
Hairy Fool, you must be related to SWMBO! That’s what she’d do although not that keen on spiders. The Millennials are a precious bunch.

Precious bunch indeed! When I started at boarding school my parents did as they were told (being good military folk and used to taking orders) and left me there for the staff to help square my stuff away. Come holiday time, I had to take my suitcase across town to the bus station, catch a bus to York station, a train to London, find the RAF Movements team to check in and be put on a train back out to Luton and then a flight to Germany. And I was 8yo. Sure, there were 3 or 4 of us doing the same thing but the oldest was an ancient 11yo. These days you'd not only get hanged for letting a child do that, the child would probably sue you for making them do it!

"When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die! You don't know who's children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they were always going to have to do from the very beginning: SIT DOWN AND TALK!"

3 hour drive to vacuum spiders A visitor from the dark side, my other vehicle is an MG5 EV
Can't they just pick them up? There's kudos to doing so. A spider fell from an office ceiling onto the desk of a young apprentice, who screamed the place down in a massive panic attack. I picked up the spider and threw it out the door. At that point, she would have had my children. For years later, every time our paths crossed, she would give me a hug.
Mind you, myself and two friends got thrown out of Loughborough Cinema for throwing rubber spiders during a screening of Arachnaphobia.

Color is in fact a perfect example. It is the original old English spelling which gradually changed, including in the American colonies. America even kept the English spelling for 70 years or so after independence although there is no real explanation as to why they eventually reverted back to the old version.
The more significant switch to more general use of phonetic (AKA lazy ) spelling happened much later
