Whack! Whack! Whack!

 "The itsy bitsy spider

climbed up the water spout

down came Kiahra to whack the spider out

the itsy bitsy spider never saw the rain,"

sang the adoring brother.

Spiders should not risk crawling across any floor or wall with eagle eye Kiahra in the house.

Sometimes, I hear a succession of banging upstairs, and Ron will look up unmoved and comment, "Kiahra found a spider."

Sometimes, she demands spider killing support.  She attempts to deploy her siblings first.   At this point, some of the best untaped reality tv follows.  Her brother will reluctantly climb heights to reach the arachnoid.  He has even utilized his rubber band gun to take out a spider.  Lucky for his sister, he is a very proficient shot.  Though he is known to tell his sister the spider jumped or fell just to torment her more; however, he always makes sure that she is not certain of the spider's location--in the event he may fall to her whacking.

If all else fails, she will deploy her father.  He will reluctantly participate only because it will allow him the opportunity to tease his teenage daughter (Where did you think Kade learned to torment his sister?)

In the end the itsy bitsy spider (contrary to any reported size discrepancies) never sees the rain.
