So a while ago I took Brecken shopping with me and we went to a store called the Spirit of Halloween. I was looking for an Elmo costume and this store has everything, Halloween displays, party stuff, blow up goblins, etc. While I was browsing costumes I let Brecken roam around by me. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Brecken step on a trigger for a giant jumping spider. I was too late and Brecken got tackled by a giant tarantula. He got knocked over by it and then it starts hissing and wiggling. Needless to say Brecken was absolutely terrified and screaming. I got to him, picked him up and tried explaining that it was not real and that it was a scary spider that jumped on him but it was ok and he was safe. The rest of the time at the store he just clung to me and was saying "scary spider jump you". In retrospect this story is funny but Brecken continues to remember the scary spider to this day and has had nightmares about it... I still feel so bad. He is going to be scared of spiders forever!
