But I am afraid of other things......
Afraid, Scared and just plain petrified.
I AM.and
Since you came here, then I guess that means that you want me to tell you all about these things, right?
and
Since one of the writing prompts over at Mama Kat's blog is "Scaredy Cat" then I suppose I can talk about them.
HOLD ON.
LET ME COMPOSE MYSELF.
FOCUS
FOCUS
:shake those heebie jeebies away:
Ok, I am ready.
I AM.
Things that scare me:
1. Public Restroom doors
(Yes, I know that public restrooms in general are scary.)
Scarier---doors with broken locks
And please don't give me that "Oh, I NEVER use public restrooms." speech because when ya gotta GO ya gotta GO. Have you ever tried to use the toilet while trying to keep the door shut with either your hand or foot?
NOT A PRETTY SIGHT!
What's even scarier---having your child hold the door shut.
"Ok, honey....All you have to do is stand against the door for mommy."
Kid- "SUUUURE!" "But who is that next to us"?
"What are they doing over there?"
"HOLD ON MOMMY."
"LET ME GO LOOK."
(opens door)
:Sigh:
2. Those security alarm thingys at all department stores.
To prevent a full fledged panic attack.....I make everyone else carry the bags.
YEP!
I don't want that alarm going off when I walk by....ya know?
SCARY and EMBARRASSING!
Seriously, someone could actually think that I am stealing deodorant or even more embarrassing . . .
toilet paper
I can't have that.
One time I bought some capri pants at Kohls because they were on clearance for $3.00.
Paid for them
Made it out the door and to the house
hung them in my closet (where they stayed for months)
But that one day when I decided I wanted to wear them . . .
Guess what?
THE SECURITY TAG WAS STILL ON THEM!
I debated taking them back.
Yep, I debated that for months and months.
Nah, that would be too scary. The alarm might go off.
Even though I had the receipt and everything I COULD NOT BRING MYSELF TO GO BACK THROUGH THE BEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEP thing.
I thought : Maybe if I wrap the security thing up in foil???
Yeah, it would prevent the BEEEEP BEEEEEEP thing from going off.
Nah
I still didn't take them back.
They have now been in the closet for over a year.
Cute capris, too.
:Sigh:
side note: BIG GIRL used to be scared of BEEP....only her BEEP was the smoke alarm.
(The smoke alarm sound when the battery needs to be changed.)
She must get that from me?
3. I am scared of my kids embarrassing me in public.
(Even though I should be used to it by now)
Kids can be scary.
That's probably why we don't go out in public very often.
My heart just can't take it.
PLUS
My threats and bribes do not work on them anymore.
Ok, that's just a few of the things that scare me.
I would love to know what YOU are scared of.
LEAVE ME A COMMENT
I LOVE COMMENTS!
Just don't mention anything scary like diet pepsi or generic mayo, OK?
