Growing up, I might have watched too many scary movies. We all had the basic irrational fears as a kid such as "a monster is going to eat my arm or leg if it hangs off of the bed." Then there were some irrational fears that were unique to only certain people. Here's some of the irrational fears I had a child.
1. A baby head was hiding in my house at night.
GiphyNot kidding, I thought using the bathroom in the middle of the night, I thought I would see a giant baby head chasing me.
2. Public pools were housing sharks.
I was terrified of the shark that would never actually be there.
3. If I swallowed any types of seed, I would be a garden!
GiphyEvery time I ate watermelon, I was afraid of looking pregnant with a watermelon baby.
4. The shower drain and the toilet were both hiding monsters.
GiphyI was actually really afraid of flushing the toilet mostly but there was also the fear of something crawling out of the drain.
5. Cracking my toe knuckles would break them.
GiphyI really don't want my toes to be broken, so I never wanted to crack my toes.
6. My blankets would save me if a monster really was in my closet.
GiphyI don't know what it was but I really thought that monster couldn't get me if I had my blanket over me.
7. Clowns were the worst thing. Ever.
GiphyI was terrified of clowns and even if the clown didn't look that terrifying, I was scared.
I am still terrified of clowns to be honest.
