    Not being able to run or be mobile.

    Living a life full of regret.

    That's pretty much it.

    Oh, and childbirthing. The whole hatching part just terrifies me.

    Spiders, spiders, brussel sprouts, and spiders.

    Snakes don't bother me in the least...I used to catch them with my bare hands and bring them home with me. I will walk two city blocks to go around a spider web.

    Being buried alive also makes the list, but at 5th place behind the above.

    I'm really scared I'm going to be murdered eventually. I'm also afraid of ghosts.

    My daughter hitting her teen years. Sure I have almost a decade before that happens, but it's never to early to start freaking out.

    Eh, they will make mistakes but be involved, deeply and don;t feel bad enough to let them run lose. Mine is turning 17 soon and boy I have been lucky, it could be worse but I am deeply involved in her life and she likes it, thank goodness.

    The thought of having a tape worm, 8 feet long living inside my intestines! lol

    If I had an 8 foot tape work in my intestines I would name it, something like Bob or Ted.... lol

    I would read it story books before I went to bed at night. sigh. if Only I had a friend that was always with me.....

    I would totally read it story books before bed too, and talk to it randomly out in public especially while grocery shopping "What do you think Ted, would you like some bananas?"

    One request, PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO Pet my tape worm. He doesn't like strangers.

    windows that aren't covered at night. I'm convinced one day there will be someone on the other side looking in.

    Sounds like being pregnant!! Yes, I talked to my belly in the grocery store, and since I was a kindergarten teacher my first born heard stories nearly every day!

    In no particular order...

    snakes (grew up next to a SC swamp),
    clowns (no real reason why...just freak out)
    cockroaches ( the huge ones we call Palmetto Bugs in SC)
    losing another one of my children

    I am NOT afraid of dying, been there done that...it was peaceful. Sucked coming back. But I am afraid of leaving my children behind while they are still young.

    I am NOT afraid of ghosts. Seen 'em, I guess I wasn't important enough to try to scare. They seemed harmless to me.

    I am NOT afraid of spiders, I can mash it with my shoe. You'd think this theory would apply to cockroaches too, but they are fast little sucks who can fit in the smallest spaces leaving you wonder where the f it went.

    Oh god, me too. I have two daughters, 21 months apart. I still have ten years until mine hit teens, but it hasn't been that long since I was a teenager, and I still feel the need to apologize to my parents.
