This is how Chuckie got his arachnophobia (fear of arachnids, such as spiders).

On another peaceful and sunny day at the park, Tommy Pickles and his toddler friends were having fun. This was when Chuckie saw a bug crawling from the bushes. That bug was none other than a spider. Chuckie then walked to the spider and watched it roaming around freely on the grass. Aw, this spider looks so cute.
So, Chuckie would the spider crawl on his arm. All of a sudden, the now fussy spider would then use its fangs and unexpectedly bite Chuckie's arm. In response, he would let out a loud scream for help, resulting in the adults coming to him. Chuckie, what happened? What's wrong, kiddo? Chuckie would then show the spider bite to the adults. Oh, dear. He was bitten by a spider. I hope it wasn't a poisonous or venomous spider. We'll have to find out about this.
Chuckie, based on the research we adults have done, we found the type of spider that bit you was a tarantula. What's a tarantula? Tarantulas are large, hairy spiders. Their bites may be painful, but luckily, it's not seriously dangerous to humans. And it was also a normal American tarantula. So, don't worry; that spider bite will go away. You'll just need an ice pack.
You got bitten by a spider? That's terrible. I know, right? The grownups said that that spider wasn't poisonous, though. Have any of you been bitten or bothered by any other bugs? Well, I remember when a mosquito landed on arms and caused my arms to itch for days. As a result, my mommy made me take an oatmeal bath, and put on a lot of that calamine stuff afterwards. So, based on what happened at the park earlier, I'll never have to get close to a spider ever again. You mean you're now scared of spiders? Yep, so you guys will have to help me stay away from any of those 8-legged bugs here in this yard. You're just like my baby brother Dil. He never likes spiders, and he cries whenever he sees one. I remember I showed Dil a cute and tiny harmless spider, and he didn't like it one bit.
(Throwback)
"Dilly, this bug I'm holding in my hand is called a spider. Don't worry; it's harmless and it can't hurt you."
(gasps and cries loudly)
"Coming, Dylan Prescott! It's going to be alright, my sweet baby boy. Tommy, honey, why don't you put that spider back in the backyard. Dil has serious arachnophobia, meaning he is really scared of arachnids, such as spiders and scorpions."
(End of Throwback)
"My mommy said that Dil has arachnophobia, and I had to put that spider back in my backyard. What's arachnophobia?" Phil asked curiously. "It's a fear of arachnids, like spiders and scorpions. I think that's what Chuckie has right now. You got that right, Lil. My favorite twin sister. My favorite twin brother." the twins said as they gave each other a cute hug.
"Don't worry, Chuckie. If we see anymore spiders in this backyard, we do our best to get you, as well as Dil, to stay away from them. Thanks, Tommy. You're the best."
The End!
