When I was a kid I was really scared of spiders. I had a blanket on my bed that had pictures of rose buds all over it, and every night before I could go to sleep, I would sit up and look at each rose because I thought that a spider might be posing as a rose bud and just waiting until I went to sleep to crawl up onto my face.
