When i was little, i was DEATHLY afraid of "draffies" (giraffes) , "boc-bocs" (chickens), and monkey woods (any forest...i always thought monkeys lived only in the woods) even though monkeys and giraffes were my favorite animals.
I slept with my mom untill i was at least 8 and one night when i was about 6 (i live by a highway so u can hear cars driving by 24/7 and my moms room is right by the driveway so u can hear if someone drives up) i must've heard somone drive up but i whispered "MOM!!!! MOM!! THERES DRAFFIES IN THE DRIVEWAY!" She tells and retells that story every Christmas.
For a family vaction one time we went to dig for diamonds and you had to walk through a path in the forest to get to the digging place. Well, i freaked out becuz "we were walking through monkey woods"!
One time during the summer we went to visit my aunt Susan in Tucson. I was about 3 at the time. My mom and i were walking past the stairs and i saw a shadow and started screm-crying saying "A BOC-BOC! A BOC-BOC!" dont ask me why i was afraid of a chicken but hey i was 3!
