What Do You Fear?
Today I was on the phone with a doctor's office. I was sorting the bookcase in front of me at the same time. Suddenly a pinching feeling at my toe. It was a huge beetle, hanging on the hem of my pants.
I started shrieking like a little girl, all apologies to the receptionist. Must have sounded like I'm off my meds but EWWWWW. I got those pants off in a flash then grabbed a sneaker and started smashing it. Three direct hits and the monster was still moving...flushed it, hope it doesn't crawl back up the plumbing.
Guess what's funny is that I have two dogs that scare some people witless with their imposing appearance. My daughter has a flock of pet white rats. There's a chipmunk and rat that live in the garden section at work. I feed them regularly. Yet a big beetle or centipede will freak me completely. What's your fear? Creepy crawlies? Rodents? Clowns?
