i was afraid of....

as a child i was afraid of many things. the first time i watched the exorcist i was about 8 and i was so scared that i wouldnt move from the couch to go to bed because i was afraid that the possesed girl would come after me and puke on me while her head was spinning round and round. when i finnally went to bed i turned on all the lights in the house and raced to my room and tried to fall asleep when i started to feel somthing shaking my bed and i thought it was just in my head but this shaking went on for a couple more minutes so i ran off in a hurry scared for my life and come to find out my older brother had been under my bed the whole time waiting for me to go to bed so he could scare me i was also told as a child that if i didnt clean my fingernails everyday that i woulod get worms. another thing my mom lied to me about was that if i was tucked into my bed tight enough that the field mice would come into my room crawl up into my bed and eat me, but i think she told me that one out of pleasure.
