When i was like about 4 I was reading up on poisonous spiders, later that day i was convinced that a tiny house spider was a poisionous jumping spider and i felt as it was my duty as an older brother to go in first to catch it, to protect my sister. Ironicaly I am 14 now and can still remember this and my sister never thanked me for sacrificing my life (yeah right!) for her.
