When I was in first grade my teacher in school told us that humans have a certain number of layers of skin. What I did not remember her telling me was that skin continues to grow. I was terrified that I would go through sll my layers of skin before I got older and that I would use it all up and not have any left. I did not quite know what would of happened to me without skin but everything I thought of was scary and had more then a few nightmares
