Childhood fears

Chuckbert's post reminded me of a childhood fear I had when we were living over on Alabama Avenue: I was afraid to sit down in the bathtub when I took a bath. I was afraid I'd fall backward and hit my head. The possibility of drowning always hung over me.

Kids worry about the funniest things. When you stand in a bathtub you are more likely to fall than when sitting and have farther to fall. You'll hurt your head worse!

Word verification: savoryo. These are unsavory fears we're reliving

NOW you tell me why you wouldn't sit down! We tried for months to get you to tell us why you wouldn't sit down in the bathtub!
