Three R's 

Reading, writing, and arithmetic (i.e. mathematics). They're considered the three fundamentals everyone should learn by the time they finish elementary education... well hopefully.

Yes, only one of the Three R's actually starts with the letter 'r'. The phrase originally started as a joke, but today it's more of an idiom.
It's a terrible school; the children are not even taught the three R's.

To take something small, that doesn't quite qualify as a theft. Probably from the Danish "skæv" or the Dutch "scheef", both of which are pronounced similarly, meaning "askew, or not quite right'. To change an item's ownership without permission, but only something small and of little worth.
"I skeefed an apple off the neighbor's tree." "I skeefed some chips outta your bag when you looked away." "Don't skeef my chair when I go to the bathroom."

Hair spider

A tight, tangled knot of loose hair and lint that forms inside clothing during the clothes dryer cycle. It typically hides inside garments, causing an annoying lump or a phantom tickling sensation against the skin until it is found or falls out onto the floor during folding.
I was folding my clothes and a huge hair spider fell out onto my hand
