I apparently loved crab and shrimp when I was little (probably around age three and earlier, seeing as I don't remember it) but I then started having nightmares about lobsters and shrimp. I thought that I ate them, they'd come back to life and attack me. I didn't start eating shrimp again until I was nine. This made eating at Red Lobster much more difficult for my family, especially when they wanted to get the jumbo shrimp cocktail.
