One day while playing with legos in the basement, my brother told me that all spiders were poisonous and that to keep away from all of them. At this point I noticed a long legged spider (Daddy long legs) and asked if that one was as well. As he pointed he put his finger as close to the spider as he could get it (in order to get it to crawl on him) and said that it was the most poisonous of all. Of coarse the spider did crawl on him to which he started pretending to die and tell me to get help so I ran upstairs screaming for mom. My brother came upstairs laughing his butt off, he said later it was worth the spanking.
I am still really afraid of spiders, that memory will stick with me forever!
