Why does she always smile when picked??????
I am seriously, genuinely, 100% arachnophobic, complete with a host of uncontrollable physical things that happen if I see a spdr (don't even like the word). If I was picked like that to do trials with them (and she is scared of everything apparently), I would be very very distressed and would leave nobody in any doubt that it was a real phobia. And definitely no smile, not even close.
Its getting pathetic now.
