Animal Fears

Boomer on My Blog - Thu, August 23 2007

Ok, Dad is going to be embarressed, but I thought I would post it anyways. My Dad has two fears, both of animals. The one about bees is understandable because he had extreme trauma when he was a child, but his one of horses baffle me. Personally, I think he is afraid of them because of dominance. I bet he sees the horse as bigger, more musculature, and awkward to control so he's scared of him. Poor Dad. We should help him overcome this fear... Hopefully no one else will have these fears of innocent animals.

My mom has a fear of (you're not going to believe this) FISH! Yes, she has a phobia and can't touch them. She has been in the water with dolphins and touched sharks at the zoo. She'll get in the ocean or go to an aquarium. When it comes to taking dead fish out of a bowl or putting her hands in a fish bowl, she totally freaks! Now, that's WEIRD!!

My mom is also afraid of bees and horses both because of bad experiences. She's getting alittle better with horses, but bees, not so much.

Mommy is afraid, actually terrified, of spiders and praying mantis. She also doesn't like things to fly in her face - like moths. She's not afraid of them, she just doesn't like them touching her face. My bean brother is afraid of bats and geese.

Mom's roommate Nikki is TERRIFIED of bees! Yesterday they were driving, and a bee came in the window, and Nikki started screaming and hyperventilating. Mom thought she was gonna jump out the window! She pulled over as quick as she could so Nikki could get out. Mom chased the bee away as Nikki was trying to regain her breath! Later she said she would've liked to just throw her whole leg out the window, and let the bee keep it! She's so silly! Lol. :)

My mom gets freaked out by geese! Something about one attempting to attack her when she was in a stroller way back when... crazy

Bella-Dad is similar to your Mom's roommate. When Dad sees a bee of any kind (honey, bumble, yellow jacket, wasp, etc.) he becomes crippled with fear to the point he will drip with cold sweat and get dizzy. Dad hates bees! Once he seen on in the window and about fell over the dinning room table to get away from it. I thought it was funny because he's six feet two inches and 300 lbs but can 't defend himself against a little bee, but he gave me an evil look.

MY mom gets scared of geese! I don't think that is too unreasonable though, because they are mean and they chase us! Tell your dad that he can start up a profile on here too and talk about his stuff, my mom does it!

My mom is terrified of spiders! She always yells for dad to come kill any spider that gets in the house or garage.
