A Partial List of Things That Scare Me

Merging

Rotten milk

Accidentally tossing a living thing into the dryer

Ghosts who mean us harm

One day I will wake up and all of the clothes in my closet will be from Chico’s

One day I will wake up and nobody I know will know that I wanted to be an actress

Falling and hitting my teeth on a curb

The water heater exploding

Truckers

Rest stop bathrooms

Rats in the attic

Mice in the pantry

Moths in my hair

Losing my teeth

Taxi drivers

Growing old and hunchbacked

What is in the silver vats of hot soup at ready-made self-serve stations

Is that aioli on my sandwich, or…?

Trying to step out of a slippery bath tub and losing my balance and falling astride the tub and hurting my lady bits something fierce

My son driving drunk

Affairs

Cancer

Athlete’s Foot

Leukemia, which is different from cancer because in my fear I'm not the one who has it

People thinking I'm stupid

My kid walking up to a bear having been tragically misinformed by the works of Walt Disney
