Last week, I wrote a Facebook update on...things I was afraid of as a kid: quicksand, Tsetse Flies, Swallowing my tongue and those Boys from Brazil.
Here are some of the responses I got:
Clowns & Leprosy---too many Bible stories and Ben Hur
My mother
Giant Spheres... I know, it is stupid.
Girls
sharp objects in grass , leaches intering the body , pincher bugs
oh ya , I also fear I my have a twin that I was seperated from at birth!
tornados and extemely old people
zodiac killer, my mom when she was pissed, my grandmother when she was pissed, my aunt when she was pissed.
I was afraid of the door leading out to the coal cellar as I dreamt it had grown fingers that were grasping at me.
Appendicitis, Nuns
Getting my arm cut off while using an elevator
When Fred Flintstone got locked out of his house
Dragonflies. And spontaneous human combustion
(and my favorite)
Zest Soap
