Today, I was babysitting some kids and helping them make a poster about insects. They couldn't think of any more insects to add so I suggested a spider, and got told to "not be a dumbass, spiders aren't insects they're arachnids." The girl is six. FML

How many adults ever use the word "arachnid"? I know spiders are arachnids and I still call them insects because I don't want to look like a complete nerd.
That is one awesome 6-year old. Be glad she's saying stuff like that and not yet another speech about her My Little Pony collection or a summary of last week's episode of the Powerpuff Girls or whatever the hell it is that 6-year old girls do.

Um, you can call them bugs, but you don't have to intentionally mislabel them as insects just to not "look like a complete nerd." Besides it's not only nerds that know spiders aren't insects.

It was definitely a hell of a lot better than most of the crappy cartoons on Cartoon Network these days.

i don't know the word "arachnid". (i'm not a native speaker though.) still suggesting that spider is an insect is plainly wrong.

In Greco-Roman mythology, Arachne (pronounced /ə-ˈræk-ni/) was a great mortal weaver who boasted that her skill was greater than that of Minerva, the Latin parallel of Pallas Athena, goddess of crafts. The offended goddess set a contest between the two weavers but, according to Ovid, the mortal weaver's subjects, the loves of the gods, was so offensive that Athena destroyed Arachne's tapestry and loom. Ultimately, the goddess turned Arachne into a spider.
Arachne simply means "spider" (ἀράχνη) in Greek.

It makes me really happy that someone mentioned that myth. Whenever I see the word arachnid my first thought is that legend. :)

Wow, only FMLs display little kids saying intelligent things. AND they always do it in a belittling way like an adult would. I've never seen any little kids like this and yet there are so many FMLs about them?

That's awesome! But I'm from London and I have never heard a child say "dumbass". It's too much of an Americanism.

Agreed. Leads me to doubt the authenticity of the story. In the very least the author has embellished it a little.
