Jesse was given the spiders ? now both dead ? as a souvenir. He has taken them to school and his mother has taken them to work
Wow, I hope he never gets crabs when he's older.

Edited for future accuracy.

I hope they enjoy swimming in my stomach acid.

Did anyone yawn at this story? Seriously. Do you realize how many flies you've eaten from restaurants or like someone mentioned, how many spiders you've swallowed? The little critters in his ear were not even that large. Whoopie!

I think the key here is, they had been alive in his ear for a few days, tapping on his ear drum.

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of someone gently rapping, rapping on my eardrum floor.
" 'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping on my eardrum floor;
Only this, and nothing more."

True story:I was about 11. I was sleeping and suddenly sharp pain wakes me up. In my left ear something is scratching at my eardrum. The pain doesn't stop. Something is moving inside my ear. I woke up my mom she gets some liquid in there, then pulls out a pieces of cockroach. That was one of the most intense pains I ever experienced. The cockroach was apparently stuck in my ear and wanted to get out, and was struggling really fast (or making little bites with its tiny teeth) inside my ear. I was screaming from pain for about 5-10 mins :p. After that wax buildup shows up a little more in my left ear, but my hearing is still perfectly good. That was when I lived in another country, but It can happen anywhere .

I work in a Children's ER, and we get stuff like that all the time. Cockroaches, Spiders, beetles, all sorts of stuff that gets stuck in kids' ears... it's still weird, though. And some of these suckers are huge!
