Fears

Then

• Clowns
• The dentist
• The basement
• The dark
• Getting lost
• Getting lost in a dark basement full of dentists dressed like clowns
• Escalators
• The principal
• Being a disappointment to my parents
• Drowning
• Caves
• Mean girls
• The Shining—never, ever read Stephen King books in grade school
• Being tickled until I wet my pants
• Juvie

Now

• Jury duty
• The mortgage
• The Internal Revenue Service
• Airport security
• Serious illness
• Insomnia
• Mammograms
• Hand guns
• College tuition for my kids
• Ignorance
• Colonoscopies
• Being a disappointment to myself
• Termites
• Alzheimer’s
• The basement
• The dentist
• Clowns

Somehow stuck at 90 words today, but this note makes it 100.
