That my mother would suddenly die. She hasn't yet. She's right here with me over 30 years later, in good health and spirits.

That was one of my biggest ones, too, and she was 79 when she died. It's been 7 years and I'm still not over it:( I hope your mom stays with you for many more years:)

There were monsters under my bed that would reach out and grab my ankles if I was too slow getting out of bed, so I had to jump down and run!

I was always to afraid to get out of my bed and go to the bathroom at night because I thought something in the hallway would attack me so I would either end up holding it all night or wetting the bed.

Same here Tao, one of my childhood fear was this stupid toilet thing, i used to ran out from the bathroom as soon as i flashed it.. And i remember i was too embarrassed to tell anyone..even my mom. :)
Avatar TaoZen Nov, 12 2008 at 06:56 PM
Not being able to tell your Mom is so sad. I'm sorry.
Avatar MissyBrossart Sep, 02 2009 at 10:18 AM
wow, i'm glad i'm not the only one that had this fear...i also used to think something was in the toilet crawling up while i was on it...*shudders*

That doesn't sound too illogical! ;)
Avatar porshacat Jan, 10 2007 at 07:58 AM
A very logical fear and I must admit to becoming more like my mum every day to my absolute disgust, a nagging dis-agreeable old misery guts yaargh!

That something under the bed would get me soon after my parents closed the door to my bedroom. I used to jump into the bed instead of walk up and climb in so "the thing" wouldn't grab my ankle and pull me under. Now I know there are scarier things under my bed like junk, spiderwebs and dust!

I used to do that too, I eventually had my bed moved closer to my light switch so I could reach it while I was safely on my bed :)

That I would drown in the bathtub. Maybe it had something to do with my father putting my head under trying to teach me "How to swim." ???

Sounds like your father was the same as my hubby's father. He took him out in Lake Michigan and let him go so he could learn to swim.
Avatar JUSTNORMAL Jan, 05 2007 at 11:53 AM
That is so dangerous!!
Avatar anonymous Jan, 10 2007 at 07:29 AM
My grandad did that to me.

Zombies, they are all gooey and stinky and gross! Actually, I still have that fear. I wake up often from terrifying dreams about them. It sounds crazy but true. The dark is a close second, but considering the first one, I think they go hand in hand.

yes, I am still around. Just not as much as I used to be...glad to see someone noticed me. :)
Avatar ENG A.K.A. Keithold Jr. Nov, 16 2008 at 12:11 AM
Yes, indeed. I'm glad you're still here. Shortly before I left for Japan in March, I was driving to my family's hometown in Lindsborg and decided to swing by your pet shop. I didn't see you; instead some man with facial hair manned the store at the time. Therefore, I left some Post-It notes for you on an aquarium across from the front door. Did you ever get them? (I'm back in Kansas now, by the way.)
Avatar onzanzabarsands Nov, 20 2008 at 08:41 AM
Yes, I got them. I was not working at the time due to the eye surgeries. The owner of the store called me right away and brought them over that evening. I am sooo sorry I missed you! It would have been awesome to finally meet a bagger in person. xoxoxo
