Irrational Fears
Okay, true story:
I used to work at a children's camp as a counselor. Of the girls' cabins, two were nasty, two were so-so, and two were great. I was SOOOO happy when I was placed in one of the good cabins. Everything was nice-- not worn down at all.
Well, one day I was in the bathroom doing some cleaning. The toilette paper was just about empty, so I decided to change it. Obviously. Well, as I picked up a new individually-wrapped roll, I proceded to take off that paper covering.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, a SPIDER jumped out. It had been living inside the toilette paper tube.
Ever since, I have been very scared to change toillette paper rolls. When I do, I always pick it up and hold it far away from me, checking to make sure nothing is inside.

I am scared of aquariums! It freaks me out when I stand next to that giant wall of glass, and there are sharks and other dangerous fish on the other side. I always worry that the glass will break, and I'll be shark food. Eek!
Spiders, bats and snakes...in no particular order! I used to have to see the dead bodies flushed down the toilet when I was little! My poor dad!
I'm scared of all animals...especially cats and dogs. I dont know why, I just feel like they are going to bite me or scratch me any second.
Those slithering creatures: snakes...especially cobra and python. The thought of these gives me shivers and goosebumps!
(NB a change in the spelling of name.)
You won't believe it but I am petrified of Halloween. I don't mean all the scary stuff I mean the actual holiday. I don't do it, at all, ever. I can't even bring myself to buy candy to give out or things for my grandkids.
Oh, there is something for the two of you at my blog..Come on over..:)
abby- the sudden blast would probably kill you before the sharks could get to you
M of I- okay, another person afraid of spiders! Well, its not really the spiders i'm afraid of; just the changing of TP
samommy- my daughter is completely freaked out by dogs. She loves pictures of them, but is scared of the real thing
