Jumping spiders fixed my phobia today.

Let me start this off by saying I wish I would have gotten a picture but I was too intrigued by it to think about that so sorry. Today I was outside with my daughter while she was playing in the pool. She came up on the deck and yelled SPIDER! Me, who was deathly afraid of them, instantly freaked out and started searching for this death machine. Only to find a cute little guy on my shoulder watching me play games on my phone. When I turned to look at him he just turned back to me as if to say "bro why did you stop...I was watching that". I have seen videos of these guys being friendly before so I took a risk and held out my finder to him and he just tapped it with one of his little front legs like a fist bump. After that I went back to playing clash Royale with this little cheer leader in my shoulder for maybe a half hour? Not sure exactly when he decided to leave. This has changed my mind completely about spider because instead of never wanting to see them again,I actually hope he comes back.
