Spiders and Porridge

Timid girl encounters a spider while eating her meal.

This emoji probably brings back memories of the nursery rhyme for some people but for others it’s a reminder of that one time they had to eat porridge while a spider crawled across their bowl like it was a perfectly normal thing to do

It’s like the modern version of little miss muffet but instead of curds and whey we’ve got porridge and a spider that doesn’t care if you’re finished with your meal or not

On social media this could be used by someone trying to explain why they can't finish their breakfast because they're too busy staring at the spider in their bowl like it's a horror movie

In a work setting this might show up in a message from a co-worker who’s clearly been eating lunch and now is dealing with an unexpected arachnid guest in their soup

Kids might use this to describe that moment when they’re eating porridge and suddenly realize they're not just having a snack they're facing a full-blown creepy crawly confrontation
