I got it!
On Saturday I went with Phoebe to Tiffany’s baby shower. All the women were gathered around watching Tiffany open her gifts so Phoebe was understandably a little bored. At some point she saw a spider coming down a wall so she asked me to kill it. I told her it was too high for me to reach. She would periodically ask again and I’d patiently tell her to try to forget about it (I know, impossible!). A few presents later, I heard Jon’s mom exclaim “Phoebe, no!”. It was then that I saw an object fly by me and land somewhere near Tiffany. Turns out Phoebe got tired of asking me to kill the spider and took matters into her own hands by grabbing her own shoe and throwing it toward the spider. When we all realized what she had done, we broke out into laughter. Phoebe looked at me and said with much glee “I got it!”
I went from complete shock and embarrassment (why did Phoebe just throw a shoe across the room?) to almost being proud (she saved us from a deadly spider!). To add to the humiliation, everyone asked me “Who taught her to throw her shoe at spiders?” My reply: “My mom. Sometimes she’s not tall enough to reach them so she throws her shoe.” LOL
And now… a picture.
