My, what a deep voice you have!

What is the bug that when you touch it, curls into a ball?

I used to call them pill bugs when I was a kid. Also called a sow bug.

What do you call the kind of spider that has an oval-shaped body and extremely long legs?

Daddy Long Legs (blech)

What do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining?

I don't know either.

I loved listening to this! I particularly love the way you say "ruin". The Scottish/N. Irish inflection for the "ru" is wonderful (it's the hint of a rolling "r" with the drawn out "u"--I'm convinced that's the best way to say the word now).

"Right, where's the off button?" :D

Haha excellent your answers to the first question and the grandparents was exactly the same as I would say.
