I was much too distracted by my heartbroken husband. His car is in the shop. They were replacing an ACU and now the keys won't turn the car on (condensed Dani version). While it was in the shop, someone backed in to it. There's a dent and a scratch or two, but the boy is crushed. You'd think I got hit!
Now back to my real post.
Today at lunch, the girls and I were talking about being scared. I was DEATHLY affraid of being kidnapped as a wee chum. Of everything really. I don't remember having nightmares until one specific story on the news. I don't remember what it was, but immediately after hearing it my nightmares started. Shortly after that, Elizabeth Smart was kidnapped and everyone got scared. My older sister started sleeping on my floor, practically under my bed. She would wake up and say she could hear someone cutting the screen. Extreme, I know. If ever I was out in the front yard and a car would drive up, I would run up to the porch, if not inside. I was a SPAZ!!!
Am I still? ....To a degree. I run into my apartment at night, I lock my doors instantly, and I hold my phone in my hands any time I'm walking- usually with someone's number ready to call. Alright, I'm still scared.
Don't you worry though, I still watch my Criminal Minds. Usually, with one hand over all but a corner of my eye and one ear plugged. It's fine.
What were you scared of as a kid? What are you scared of now? Did you ever get over your fear?
The real reason we watch Criminal Minds... Lovely man.
Okay so it's about the same as you but I'm terrified that someone is going to break into my house and steal me. so i shut my bedroom door and sometimes put my laundry basket in front of it so that i will hear if someone opens the door. yupp scary stuff!
ReplyDeleteYeah me too! That's one good thing about a little apartment! They can't hide too many places!!
DeleteDani! I love this! I still run inside if I have to take the garbage out at home or at work. Even if it's freaking 1 in the afternoon!
ReplyDeleteAlso, have you seen Diary of a Mad Black Woman? Shemar is the love interest. Just call me and you can totally borrow it.
I feel you 100%! Garages also scare me to death! I watch it till it closes before I go in! Someone could sneak under and hide! Ahh!! I think my mom told me about that movie too! He's so dreamy... he's on the list for sure!
