And not at all a word I just made up.<br />And really, I can't believe you are bringing this up in the middle of the scariest week of the year AND right after the occurrence last week when Katie herself taught my own daughter to rub pieces of styrofoam together at me. AT ME!<br />And, seriously, after this series of comments, I am with Katie....we clearly have some family issues, man. When I burst out laughing while reading, my kids ask 'what's funny mama?' And the answer is 'aunt Monica is afraid of bandaids.' ...then you know we're not run of the mill.<br />Be careful this week, kids.<br />(Especially you, Laura, 'tis the season for those beasts)The Ballard Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00357403451288678876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050262466308751436.post-68787690580019189702011-08-02T17:32:30.257-07:002011-08-02T17:32:30.257-07:00Now it's Mandy's turn to comment about her...Now it's Mandy's turn to comment about her irrational fear of styrofoamLaura!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02817591455936022748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050262466308751436.post-35214685434601506832011-08-02T17:22:59.944-07:002011-08-02T17:22:59.944-07:00after mentioning that one sister shares this fear....after mentioning that one sister shares this fear...then another sister commented and said she's afraid of bandaids and stickers...then yet another sister said she fears dragonflies....i am beginning to believe this a family issue, these irrational fears.katildahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17794183122186770465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050262466308751436.post-1858380410301724402011-08-02T17:02:01.896-07:002011-08-02T17:02:01.896-07:00Remember that time you were feeding the fish and o...Remember that time you were feeding the fish and one jumped out and you flew across the room? Hahahahaha! Though I understand about being afraid of touching a big fish... that would be icky. And I have no room to talk because I have recently come to terms with the fact that I'm afraid of dragonflies. Not, like, one dragonfly off by itself. But if there's more than one and they get too close to me... let's just say that incident occurred recently while I was floating on a tube in a pond and I frantically tried to paddle away (I'm hoping you're getting the perfectly pathetic image, here) while screaming "I'm afraid! I'm afraid!" Haha hate those things...Laura!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02817591455936022748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050262466308751436.post-76193789189641720412011-08-02T11:36:48.604-07:002011-08-02T11:36:48.604-07:00Well katie, you know me :) I love sharks.

However, I accept and truly understand your fear. We all have them. And I'll admit, my fear is much MUCH less rational: bandaids and stickers. I don't just not like them, I am afraid of them. The worst thing ever: stepping on a sticker. I won't even attempt to describe the reaction that follows....Monica Christiansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11250273822795625990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050262466308751436.post-11258260085156039512011-08-02T10:58:48.340-07:002011-08-02T10:58:48.340-07:00Snakes.

Otherwise I'm all about them -- there are few things that I love more than a good aquarium. I would just be terrified to be in the water with said creatures (except maybe a dolphin).Mykehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09656533609061854359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050262466308751436.post-2381475180659655492011-08-02T08:17:31.944-07:002011-08-02T08:17:31.944-07:00Oh man.

Although last night we were hanging our with some friends and they were watching shark week and it was pretty gruesome. Luckily (too bad, actually) I'm not going to the beach anytime soon.karajeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02915226080433424430noreply@blogger.com
